The Bookshelf for boys and girls Little Journeys into Bookland part 2 (1912)

HE breeze is light and the cloud is high,The dews yet white on the meadows lie.I toil as toiled in the legend oldThe millers daughter for straw-spun gold,Yet by no magic of gnome or elf-True power have I in mine own true self,And cheerily I my task begin,A greater than kings doth bid me spin.
