    For the tireless heart within the little
    Lady with rod that made them rise
    From their noon apple-dreams, and scuttle
    Goose-fashion under the skies!

    And weeping fast as she had breath
    Janet implored us, ‘Wake her from her sleep!’
    And would not be instructed in how deep
    Was the forgetful kingdom of death.
