And filled the trees and flapped and fought
And sang themselves to sleep;

That carolled less than cried
Against the dying rave
And moan that never died,

I climbed a hill as light fell short,
And rooks came home in scramble sort,
And filled the trees and flapped and fought
And sang themselves to sleep;
