- Now every creature is at rest
Except the dog and corncrake
While I with anxious cares oppressed
My pensive way through fields I take.You noisy curs why do you bark
The sleeping purple to alarm
Tho' I'm alone and in the dark
I do not mean you any harm.You corncrakes among the grass
Why do you make so much ado
While I in sorrow by you pass
But Oh my grief's unknown to you.
