1. 



Gathering, gathering, ye gathering, the wood, ye are, 



2. 



Noisily, noisily, noisily ye move about. 



In the first stanza of the second song the wood gatherers are rep- 

 resented as still in the forest where they make a rattling noise as 

 they tie in bunches the gathered firewood for convenience of carrying. 

 In the second stanza they have brought the wood into the Mystic 

 House and thi-ow it down with a clattering noise.
