The deer to the wholesome wold;
And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid,
As it was in the days of old.

Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

In the flush of the hot June prime,
O'ersleek flood-tides afire,
I hear him hurry the chime
To the bidding of checked Desire;
Till the sweated ringers tire
And the wild bob-majors die.
Could I wait for my turn in the godly choir?
(Shoal! 'Ware shoal!) Not I!
