Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.”

Pigeons on the grass alas.
Short longer grass short longer longer shorter yellow
grass Pigeons large pigeons on the shorter longer yellow grass
alas pigeons on the grass.”
