First Line: Of your 'nevolent nature
Last Line: And the taper burns dull!
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Of your 'nevolent nature
Spare a crust for a creature.
A drink and a dole,
For a ho-omeless soul.
Of slumber but tossings --
White the rime in bare Crossings;
Cold is shed, barn and byre, leddy,
A coal from your fire, leddy!
And Oh, sleepy odours,
The bosom to lull;
When the swart raven yells,
And the taper burns dull!
