Through leafy windows of the treesA
The full moon shows a wrinkled faceB
And trailing dim her draperiesA
Of mist from place to placeB
The Twilight leads the breezeA
-
And now far off beside a poolC
Dusk blows a reed a guttural noteD
Then sows the air around her fullE
Of twinkling disc and moteD
And moth shapes soft as woolE
-
And from a glen where lights glow byF
Through hollowed hands she sends a callG
And Solitude with owlet cryF
Answers and EvenfallG
Steps swiftly from the skyF
-
And Mystery in hodden grayH
Steals forth to meet her and the DarkI
Before him slowly makes to swayH
A jack o' lantern sparkI
To light him on his wayH
-
The grasshopper its violinJ
Tunes up the katydid its fifeK
The beetle drums the grig makes dinJ
Informing Elfin lifeK
Night's revels now beginJ
-
And from each side along the wayH
Old Witchcraft waves a batlike handL
And summons forth the toadstool grayH
To point the path to FaerylandL
Where all man's longings strayH
-

-
The snail puts forth two staring hornsN
And down the toadstool slidesO
The wind sits whispering in the thornsN
Of one unseen who hidesO
Of him the SpriteL
With glowworm lightL
Who watchmans secrets of the NightL
-
The bee sleeps in the berry bloomP
The bird dreams on its nestL
The moon moth swoons through drowsed perfumeP
Upon a fragrant questL
It seeks for himQ
The Pixy slimQ
Who tags with wet each wildflower's rimQ
-
The milkwort leans an ear of pinkR
And listens for the dewL
The fireflies in the wildrose winkR
That seems to listen tooL
For her the FayH
With sword like rayH
Who opens buds at close of dayH
-
The moon that dares not come too nearS
Keeps to the highest hillG
The little brook it seems for fearS
Of something strange is stillG
The MysteryT
It well may beT
That talks to it of FaerieT
