In the solemn midnight,

within that province far away,
Went plodding home a weary boor:
A streak Of light before him lay,
Fallen through a half-shut stable door
Across bis psth. he paused--for nsught
Told what was going on within;
new Keen the stars, his only thought
The air, how calm, and cold. and Tin,
