Will you not stay,
Put up your caravan

'Twould ring the bells of Heaven
The wildest peal for years,
If Parson lost his senses
And people came to theirs,
And he and they together
Knelt down with angry prayers
For tamed and shabby tigers
And dancing dogs and bears,
And wretched, blind, pit ponies,
And little hunted hares.

The mystery to me,
Enough the rose was Heaven to smell,
And His own face to see.
