From far green armouries of pools and meres
I'll reach for you my lucent sheaves of spears--
The singing falls,
Where the lone ousel calls.

Here's the tin pants of Dick Cocur de Lion.
Just imagine the job that his old woman had
Putting patches on with soldering iron.

And bright streams fell, tinkling like polished tin,
As though they carried off his armoury,
And spread it glinting through his wide domain.
