    (continued from previous page)
    The mellow black-birds voice is shrill
    IX.
    And headlong downwards seem to fall.
    As if it felt the piercing ball.
    It will surely rain, I see with sorrow
    Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
