this is the weather the cuckoo likes,
and so do i;

and maids come forth sprig-muslin drest,
and citizens dream of the south and west,
and so do i.

this is the weather the shepherd shuns,
and so do i;
when beeches drip in browns and duns,

and meadow rivulets overflow,
and drops on gate bars hang in a row,
and rooks in families homeward go,
and so do i.
