Page 89 - The lark has sung his carol in the sky, The bees have hummed their noontide lullaby ; Still in the vale the village bells ring round, Still in Llewellyn hall the jests resound ; For now the caudle-cup is circling there, Now, glad at heart, the gossips breathe their prayer, And, crowding, stop the cradle to admire The babe, the sleeping image of his sire.
