Verse 2. The air was dry with Summer heat, and smoke v,'as on the ye1low Moon;
But from the l{eavens, faint and sweet, came floating down a wond'rous tune;
And,astheyheard,th.y'@thosedroversthree-..Noel!Noel!,,
Verse 3" The black swans fl6w across the sky, the wild dog called across the plain,
The starry lustre blazed on high, still echoed on the Heavenly strain;
And sti11 they sang "Noel! Noel!" those drovers three. "NoeMoel!"
