Mounts, to illume their homeward way:

Their weary spirits to relieve,

The meadows incense breathe at eve.

No riot mars the simple fare,

That o’er a glimmering hearth they share:

But when the curfew’s measured roar

Duly, the darkening valleys o’er,

Has echoed from the distant town,

They wish no beds of cygnet-down,

No trophied canopies, to close
