Their heads never raising,

There are forty feeding like one!

Like an army defeated,

The snow hath retreated,

And now doth fare ill

On top of the bare hill.

The ploughboy is whooping-anon-anon.

There's life in the fountains;

Small clouds are sailing,

Blue sky prevailing.

The rain is over and gone!
