The Hayloft
by Robert Louis Stevenson

Through all the pleasant meadowside
The grass grew shoulder-high,
Till the shining scythes went far and wide
And cut it down to dry.

Those green and sweetly smelling crops
They led in wagson home;
And they piled them here in mountaintops
For mountaineers to roam.

Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,
Mount Eagles and Mount High;-
The mice that in these mountains dwell,
No happier are than I!

Oh! what a joy to clamber there,
Oh, what a place for play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,
They happy hills of hay!
