Song.--The Owl

________________________________________________
Title:     Song.--The Owl
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson [More Titles by Tennyson]

1

When cats run home and light is come,
And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,
And the whirring sail goes round;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.

2

When merry milkmaids click the latch,
And rarely smells the new-mown hay,
And the cock hath sung beneath the thatch
Twice or thrice his roundelay,
Twice or thrice his roundelay;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.

[The end]
Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem: Song.--The Owl
