   Hopping and crawling oer the green.
   The whirling wind dust obeys
   And in a rapid eddy plays
   The frog has changed his yellow vest
   And in a russet coat is dressed
   Though June the air is cold and chrill
   The mellow blackbird's voice is chrill
   My dog so altered in his taste
   Quits mutton bones on grass to feast
   And see yon Rooks how odd their flight
   They imitate the gliding kite
   And headlong downward seem to fall.
   As if they felt the piercing ball
   Twill surely rain I see with sorrow
   Our jaunt must be put off to morrow.
