 The Sun has long been set: The Stars are out by twos and threes; The little Birds are piping yet Among the bushes and trees;There's a Cuckoo, and one or two thrushes; And a noise of wind that rushes, With a noise of water that gushes; And the Cuckoo's sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky!
 Who would go "parading" In London, and "masquerading," On such a night of June? With that beautiful soft half-moon, And all these innocent blisses, On such a night as this is!
