Thus slowly, one by one,

Íts guaint events were hammered out—¬
And now the tale is done,

And home we steer, a merry crew,

Beneath the setting sun.

Alice! a childish story take,
And with a gentle hand

Lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined
In Memory’s mystic band, |

Like pilerim’s witherd wreath of flowers
Pluck’d in a far-off land.
