The plantains rearing high their flowery crowns

Above the daisied coverts; overhead,

The hawthorns, white and rosy, bent with bloom,

The broad-fanned chestnuts spiked with frequent flowers,

And white gold-hearted lilies on the stream.

Lewis Morris.


Old Kentish Song.

My one man, my two men,
Will mow me down the medda';
My three men, my four men,
Will carry away togedda';
My five men, my six men,
And there ain't no more,
Will mow my hay, and carry away,
And mow me down the medda'.
