Invite the rook who high amid the boughs,
In early spring, his airy city builds,
And ceaseless caws amusive.

Where in venerable rows
Widely waving oaks enclose
The moat of yonder antique hall,

Where in venerable rows
Widely waving oaks enclose
The moat of yonder antique hall,
Swarm the rooks with clamorous call;
And, to the toils of nature true,
Wreath their capacious nests anew.
