[David:] ...well it went...and it went like it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

In light, and the fancy sings."
