Walking by moonlight on the golden marginA
That binds the silver sea I fell to thinkingB
Of all the wild imaginings that manC
Hath peopled heaven and earth and ocean withD
Making fair nature's solitary hauntsE
Alive with beings beautiful and fearfulF
And as the chain of thought grew link by linkG
It seemed as though the midnight heavens waxed brighterH
The stars gazed fix'dly with their golden eyesI
And a strange light played o'er each sleeping billowJ
That laid its head upon the sandy beachK
Anon there came along the rocky shoreL
A far off sound of sweetest minstrelsyI
From no one point of heaven or earth it cameM
But under over and about it breathedN
Filling my soul with thrilling fearful pleasureH
It swelled as though borne on the floating wingsI
Of the midsummer breeze it died awayO
Towards heaven as though it sank into the cloudsI
That one by one melted like flakes of snowJ
In the moonbeams Then came a rushing soundP
Like countless wings of bees or butterfliesI
And suddenly as far as eye might viewQ
The coast was peopled with a world of elvesI
Who in fantastic ringlets danced aroundP
With antic gestures and wild beckoning motionA
Aimed at the moon White was their snowy vestureH
And shining as the Alps when that the sunA
Gems their pale robes with diamonds On their headsI
Were wreaths of crimson and of yellow foxgloveR
They were all fair and light as dreams anonA
The dance broke off and sailing through the airH
Some one way and some other they did eachK
Alight upon some waving branch or flowerH
That garlanded the rocks upon the shoreH
One chiefly did I mark one tiny spriteS
Who crept into an orange flower bellT
And there lay nestling whilst his eager lipsI
Drank from its virgin chalice the night dewQ
That glistened like a pearl in its white bosomU
