Once into a quiet village	A
Without haste and without heed	B
In the golden prime of morning	C
Strayed the poet's winged steed	B
	-
It was Autumn and incessant	D
Piped the quails from shocks and sheaves	E
And like living coals the apples	F
Burned among the withering leaves	E
	-
Loud the clamorous bell was ringing	C
From its belfry gaunt and grim	G
'T was the daily call to labor	H
Not a triumph meant for him	G
	-
Not the less he saw the landscape	I
In its gleaming vapor veiled	J
Not the less he breathed the odors	K
That the dying leaves exhaled	J
	-
Thus upon the village common	L
By the school boys he was found	M
And the wise men in their wisdom	N
Put him straightway into pound	M
	-
Then the sombre village crier	H
Ringing loud his brazen bell	O
Wandered down the street proclaiming	C
There was an estray to sell	O
	-
And the curious country people	P
Rich and poor and young and old	Q
Came in haste to see this wondrous	R
Winged steed with mane of gold	Q
	-
Thus the day passed and the evening	C
Fell with vapors cold and dim	G
But it brought no food nor shelter	H
Brought no straw nor stall for him	G
	-
Patiently and still expectant	D
Looked he through the wooden bars	S
Saw the moon rise o'er the landscape	I
Saw the tranquil patient stars	S
	-
Till at length the bell at midnight	T
Sounded from its dark abode	U
And from out a neighboring farm yard	V
Loud the cock Alectryon crowed	U
	-
Then with nostrils wide distended	W
Breaking from his iron chain	X
And unfolding far his pinions	S
To those stars he soared again	Y
	-
On the morrow when the village	A
Woke to all its toil and care	Z
Lo the strange steed had departed	A2
And they knew not when nor where	Z
	-
But they found upon the greensward	A2
Where his straggling hoofs had trod	A2
Pure and bright a fountain flowing	C
From the hoof marks in the sod	A2
	-
From that hour the fount unfailing	C
Gladdens the whole region round	A2
Strengthening all who drink its waters	S
While it soothes them with its sound	A2
