. . And down an endless hill After his hoop he runs, a little lad, Barefooted 'neath the stars, in nightshirt clad And stumbles into bed, the stars all gone, Though in his head the hoop keeps running on, And on and on : his head grown big and wide Holds all the windy night and stars inside. . . . And still within a hair's breadth of his ear The crunch and gride of wheels rings sharp and clear, Huge lumbering wagons, crusted ankle-deep With country marl, their drivers half-asleep Against green t...oppling mounds of cabbages Still crisp with dewy airs, or stacks of cheese Smelling of Arcady, till all the sky In clouds of cheese and cabbages rolls by Great golden cheeses wheeling through the night, And giant cabbages of emerald light That tumble after, scattering crystal drops. . . . While in his ear the grinding never stops Wheels grinding asphalt. . . . Then a high-piled wain Of mignonette in boxes. . . . And again, A baby at his father's cottage-door, He toddles, treading on his pinafore, And tumbles headlong in a bed of bloom, Half-smothered in the deep, sweet honeyed gloom 36 WHEELS Of crushed, wet blossom, and the hum of bees Big bumble-bees that buzz through flowery trees Grows furious.
