Kille, kille, lambkin mine, Though it often be hard to climb Over the rocks upswinging, Follow thy bell's sweet ringing!

All that your courage has brightened, All that your pity protected,       Now it is grown; Over your shoulders upswinging,       Folds round your frame, Bringing in roses your name, Joyous the sprite of your poetry bringing.
