Fly—who’rt peering, I am certain,

At me now from yonder curtain:

Busy, curious, thirsty fly

(As thou’rt clept, I well know why)—

Cease, if only for a single

Hour, to make my being tingle!

Flee to some loved haunt of thine;

To the valleys where the kine,

Udder-deep in grasses cool,

Or the rushy margined pool,
