As from the house your mother sees
You playing round the garden trees,
The Land of Nod

From breakfast on through all the day
At home among my friends I stay,
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.

Like as a huntsman after weary chase,
Seeing the game from him escap'd away,

This holy season, fit to fast and pray,
Men to devotion ought to be inclin'd:

But came the waves and washed it away:

For that your self ye daily such do see:
Amoretti LXXIV: Most Happy Letters
© Edmund Spenser
Most happy letters, fram'd by skilful trade,
With which that happy name was first design'd:

© Edmund Spenser
Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day,
Didst make thy triumph over death and sin:
Amoretti LXVII: Like as a Huntsman

Seeing the game from him escap'd away,
A Hymn Of Heavenly Beauty

Rapt with the rage of mine own ravish'd thought,
Through contemplation of those goodly sights,

© Robert Southey
The summer and autumn had been so wet,
That in winter the corn was growing yet,
'Twas a piteous sight to see all around
The grain lie rotting on the ground.
