• Sweet was the sound, when oft, at evening's close,
  Up yonder hill the village murmur rose;
  There as I passed, with careless steps and slow,
  The mingling notes came soften'd from below;
  The swain responsive as the milkmaid sung,
  The sober herd that low'd to meet their young;
  The noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool,
  The playful children just let loose from school;
  The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind,
  And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind;
  These all in sweet confusion sought the shade,
  And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made.

  Oliver Goldsmith

  Dog, Sweet, Children
