(TENNYSON)

The rain had fallen, the Poet arose,

He passed through the doorway into the street,

A strong wind lifted his hat from his head,

And he uttered some words that were far from sweet.

And then he started to follow the chase,

And put on a spurt that was wild and fleet,

It made the people pause in a crowd,

And lay odds as to which would beat.

The street cad scoffed as he hunted the hat,
