Over white roads strewn with leaves,
By the gipsy’s ragged tent,
Rode we to the Tournament.
Over clover wet with dew,
Whence the sky-lark, startled, flew,
Through brown fallows, where the hare
Leapt up from its subtle lair,
Past the mill-stream and the reeds
Where the stately heron feeds,
By the warren’s sunny wall,
