1. Read the poem carefully.

There dwelt a miller, hale and bold

Beside the River Dee

He worked and sang from morn till night

No lark more blithe than he

And this the burden of his song

Forever used to be

I envy nobody no, not!

And nobody envies me.

You're wrong, my friend', said the good old King

As wrong as wrong can be

For could my heart be light as yours

I'd gladly change and see.

And tell me now, what makes you sing

With voice so loud and free

While I am sad, though I am King

Beside the River Dee?'

The miller smiled and doffed his cap

learn my bread, said he

I love my wife, I love my friend

love my children three

lowe no penny I cannot pay

I thank the River Dee

That turns the mill that grinds the corn

That feeds my kids and me.'

'Good friend', said King and sighed a whileThat no one envies thee

Your mealy cap is worth my crown

Your mill my kingdom's fee

Such men as you are the Country's boast

O miller of the Dee!
