Did YOU ever chance to see them.
All those gentlefolk Of corn,
Who bow from morn till evening
And from evening until morn?
How they bow and bend and curtsy
With the music of the breeze,
Which whistles all their tunes TO them
And rustles in the trees!
How polite they are and stately
AS they bend and dip so low,
Like ladies in the minuets
OF long, and long ago!
Go to the clam bake tomorrow.
