They come to bid us there "Good night,"

Vrom hall, a-hung wi' holm, that rung

Wi' many a tongue o' wold an' young.

There in the narrow leäne an' drong

Hallow'd by times o' gwaïn along,

The lofty ashes' leafless sh'ouds

Rose dark avore the clear-edged clouds,

The while the moon, at girtest height,

Bespread the pooly brook wi' light,

An' as our child, in loose-limb'd rest,
