How balmy and sweet was the evening! How fair
Was the face of all nature that smiled everywhere!
Far out on the highway their voices rang clear
As the dancers were coming with song and a cheer
In their wagon that rumbled along with its load.
They were coming, were coming far down on the road,
And to meet them, away ran the great baying hound
To lead them down home to the acre of ground.
There the dancers were welcomed by Twilley soon after,
Where they filled all the rooms with a chatter and laughter.
