Blew Inn

(A Digression)

A sunny Sunday morning in May,

Aimlessly to woods did I stray.

Companions none, but longing to see

One in like plight, I chanced upon three;

The Masons two, wife and man, and one,

A lad in his teens, made up

A quartet with me to fill joy’s cup.

With lusty minnows in pail to its fill,
