    Seated upon her tapestry-stool, Her fairy-book laid by, She gazes in the fire, knowing She hath sweet company.
    THE MILLER AND HIS SON A twangling harp for Mary, A silvery flute for John, And now we'll play the livelong day, 'The Miller and his Son. ' 'The Miller went a-walking All in the forest high, He sees three doves a-flitting Against the dark blue sky: 'Says he, "My son, now follow These doves so white and free, That cry above the forest, And surely cry to thee. " "I go, my dearest
... Father, But O! I sadly fear, These doves so white will lead me far, But never bring me near. " 'He kisses the Miller, He cries, "Awhoop to ye!" And straightway through the forest Follows the wood-doves three.
    'There came a sound of weeping To the Miller in his Mill; Red roses in a thicket Bloomed over near his wheel; 'Three stars shone wild and brightly Above the forest dim: But never his dearest son Returns again to him.
    'The cuckoo shall call "Cuckoo!" In vain along the vale, The linnet, and the blackbird, The mournful nightingale; 'The Miller hears and sees not, A-thinking of his son; His toppling wheel is silent; His grinding done.
