Walter de la Mare - The Pigs and the Charcoal-burnerWalter de la Mare - The Pigs and the Charcoal-burner
Work rating: Low

He watched `neath a green and giant bough, And the pigs in the ground Made a wonderful grisling and gruzzling And greedy sound. And when, full-fed, they were gone, and Night Walked her starry ways, He stared with his cheeks in his hands At his sullen blaze.
