Orchard

There on a slope of orchard, Francis laid

A damask napkin wrough with horse and hound,

brought out a dusky loaf that smelt of home,

And cut down, a pasty costly made,

Where quail and pigeon, lark and leveret, lay

Like fossils of the rock, with golden yolks

Imbedded and in jellied.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
