First Line: Ye stars in ye skies seem twinkling

Alternate Author Name(s): Johnson Of Boone, Benj. F.

YE stars in ye skies seem twinkling
In icicles of light,
And ye edge of ye wind cuts keener
Than ever ye sword-edge might;
Ye footsteps crunch in ye courtway,
And ye trough and ye cask go "ping!" --
Ye china cracks in ye pantry,
And ye crickets cease to sing.
