A Thresher of Wheat to the Winds

To you light troupe that rydeOn movynge wings and glyde Above the world and slake it,And with your murmur softMove the green shade and oft With gentle tremors shake it --

For you I violets cull,And flowers beautiful. These roses and these lilies, --These roses all soe redAnd newly openéd, These pinks and daffodillies.

Nowe with your gentle breathBreathe on the plaine beneath. And lightly fan this meadowe,Whyle I doe sweat and straineAt threshynge of my graine, And noon is without shadowe.
