To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away!...

108 psl. - GOD makes sech nights, all white an' still Fur 'z you can look or listen, Moonshine an' snow on field an' hill, All silence an' all glisten.

565 psl. - The wind did blow, the cloak did fly Like streamer long and gay, Till loop and button failing both, At last it flew away.
