And you, warm little housekeeper, who class 5

With those who think the candles come too soon,

Loving the fire, and with your tricksome tune

Nick the glad silent moments as they pass;

O sweet and tiny cousins, that belong,

One to the fields, the other to the hearth, 10

Both have your sunshine; both, though small, are strong

At your clear hearts, and both seem given to earth

To sing in thoughtful ears this natural song,

In doors and out, summer and winter, mirth.
