I went out to the hazel wood,
-ecause a fire was in m- head,
And cut and -eeled a hazel wand,
And -atted m- faithful doggie's head;

And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth(-)li-e stars were flic-ering out,
I flung the stic- into a stream
For good old Laddie to fetch out.

When he had laid it on the ground,
I went to throw it -ac- again,
-ut he s-otted something in the -rush
And stared as if it had called his name.

It was a forgotten old tennis -all,
Gre- with age, and languishing there;
I threw it hard, and Laddie, ha---, ran
Chasing his old lo-e through the morning air.

With a-ologies to W. -. -eats
