Sheets of snow


As curst improvment gan his fields inclose 
O greens & fields & trees farwell farwell 
His heart wrung pains his unavailing woes 
No words can utter & no tongue can tell 
When ploughs destroyd the green when groves of willows fell 
There once was springs when daises silver studs 
Like sheets of snow on every pasture spread 
There once was summers when the crow flower buds 
Like golden sunbeams brightest lustre shed
