With that she hem'd to clear her pipe, and through

Her bright-red curls her radish fingers drew;

Then looking round, and smiling as she look'd,

(While many a heart upon her bait she hook'd,)

Her ditty once, twice, she commenced too high,—

At last she found the key;—then, with a sigh

Long-drawn and deep, her quivering voice she woke,

Which rose and curl'd—ay, gracefully as smoke

Seen at a distance—misty-wreathing—dimly

Issuing from some wood-bound cottage chimley.
