They blow an old-time way for me,

Across the world to Arcady.

Oh, what’s the way to Arcady?

Sir Poet, with the rusty coat,

Quit mocking of the song-bird’s note.

How have you heart for any tune,

You with the wayworn russet shoon?

Your scrip, a-swinging by your side,

Gapes with a gaunt mouth hungry-wide.

I’ll brim it well with pieces red,
