Till out you scoop its clove wherein lie stalk and leaf

And bloom and seed unborn?

"That slew me: yes, in brief,

I died then, dead I lay doubtlessly till Droug stopped

Here, I suppose. I come to life, I find me propped

Thus,—how or when or why—I know not. Tell me, friends,

All was a dream: laugh quick and say the nightmare ends!

Soon I shall find my house: 't is over there: in proof,

Save for that chimney heaped with snow, you 'd see the roof

Which holds my three—my two—my one—not one?
