SYDNEY DOBELL
But she neither tiirn'd her head Nor 'Whistly, whistly/ said she. Her hands were folded as in grace, We laid her with her ancient race And all the village wept.
��WILLIAM ALLINGHAM
1824-188.) 769- The Fames
IP the airy mountain, ^ Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap,
And white owl's feather!
Down along the rocky shore
Some make their home, They live on crispy pancakes
Of yellow tide-foam; Some in the reeds
Of the black mountain lake, With frogs for their watch-dogs,
All night awake.
High on the hill -top
The old King sits; He is now so old and gray
He's nigh lost his wits.
