And then the bagpipes he could blow —Aud thus from house to house would go ;And all were pleased to hear and see,For none made sweeter melody Than did the poor blind Boy.

For to this lake, by night and dayThe great Sea-water finds its wayThrough long, long windings of the hillsAud drinks up all the pretty rills And rivers large and strong: Then hurries back the road it came —Returns, on errand still the same;This did it when the earth was new;And this for evermore Avill do. As long as earth shall last. And, with the coming of the tide,Come boats and ships that safely rideBetween the woods and lofty rocks;And to the shepherds with their flocksRringj tales of distant lands.
