      "So huge and dark that it seemed",

      "It impossible.",

      "Then the great down in the west",
      "Grew into sight,",
      "A barn stored full to the ridge",
      "With black of night;",

      "And the barn fell to a barn",
      "Or even less",

      "Till a few steps changed",
      "It past all doubt to the down;",
