    E'en in mid-harvest, while the jocund swain
    Pluck'd from the brittle stalk the golden grain,
    Oft have I seen the war of winds contend,
    And prone on earth th' infuriate storm descend,
    Waste far and wide, and by the roots uptorn,
    The heavy harvest sweep through ether borne,
    As light straw and rapid stubble fly
    In dark'ning whirlwinds round the wintry sky.

Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke:
How jocund did they drive their team a-field!
How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!
