Where bells don't ring nor whistles blow
Nor clocks don't strike nor gongs don't SCUM,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not really stiffness, but just the trees
Low whisperings or the hum OF bees
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones
Or maybe cricket or katydid
Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid
Or Just some such sweet sounds as these
To fill a tired heart with ease.

proved by the fact that the Russian
