Dreaming not of labour vain ; And the rooks to that poor nest Came and set to work again. Angry eyes awoke and saw. Ruthless hands the work undo ; Many a faint remonstrant caw Dies unheeded in the dew. Five times was the nest begun ; Five times, with the dawn of day, Were the cunning links undone. And the framers chased away. Digitized by VjOOQ IC I02 THE LADY AND THE ROOKS. But one night, through all the trees. Went a whirr of wings afloat. And a tumult and a breeze, Big with caws from many a ...throat ; Sleep is hunted from the house; Through the dark the master looks. Saying to his weary spouse, '^ There's a strike among the rooks/' To that houseless pair forlorn All the nation came in aid : '^ This,'' they cried, ^^ cannot be borne ; " In a night it shall be made !" And it was ! They pile, they weave. Flit, fiiss, chatter through the shade ; The first twig was set at eve. And by dawn the eggs were laid. Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE LADY AND THE ROOKS. IO3 When the lady came to see, Much she marvellM, as she might, Sych a goodly work to be FinishM in a single night.
