<P><B>In winter I take my eel-basket and eel-spear and travel out<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp; on foot on the ice ~ I have a small axe to cut holes in<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp; the ice.</B><BR>
</P>
<P><B>Behold me well-clothed going gayly or returning in the<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp; afternoon, my brood of tough boys accompanying me,</B><BR>
</P>
<P><B>My brood of grown and part-grown boys, who love to be with<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp; no one else so well as they love to be with me,</B><BR>
</P>
<P><B>By day to work with me, and by night to sleep with me.</B><BR>
