| The full moon shows a wrinkled face | B |
| And trailing dim her draperies | A |
| Of mist from place to place | B |
| The Twilight leads the breeze | A |
| - | |
| And now far off beside a pool | C |
| Dusk blows a reed a guttural note | D |
| Then sows the air around her full | E |
| Of twinkling disc and mote | D |
| And moth shapes soft as wool | E |
| - | |
| And from a glen where lights glow by | F |
| Through hollowed hands she sends a call | G |
| And Solitude with owlet cry | F |
| Answers and Evenfall | G |
| Steps swiftly from the sky | F |
| - | |
| And Mystery in hodden gray | H |
| Steals forth to meet her and the Dark | I |
| Before him slowly makes to sway | H |
| A jack o' lantern spark | I |
| To light him on his way | H |
| - | |
| The grasshopper its violin | J |
| Tunes up the katydid its fife | K |
| The beetle drums the grig makes din | J |
| Informing Elfin life | K |
| Night's revels now begin | J |
| - | |
| And from each side along the way | H |
| Old Witchcraft waves a batlike hand | L |
| And summons forth the toadstool gray | H |
| To point the path to Faeryland | L |
| Where all man's longings stray | H |

| The snail puts forth two staring horns | N |
| And down the toadstool slides | O |
| The wind sits whispering in the thorns | N |
| Of one unseen who hides | O |
| Of him the Sprite | L |
| With glowworm light | L |
| Who watchmans secrets of the Night | L |
| - | |
| The bee sleeps in the berry bloom | P |
| The bird dreams on its nest | L |
| The moon moth swoons through drowsed perfume | P |
| Upon a fragrant quest | L |
| It seeks for him | Q |
| The Pixy slim | Q |
| Who tags with wet each wildflower's rim | Q |
| - | |
| The milkwort leans an ear of pink | R |
| And listens for the dew | L |
| The fireflies in the wildrose wink | R |
| That seems to listen too | L |
| For her the Fay | H |
| With sword like ray | H |
| Who opens buds at close of day | H |
| - | |
| The moon that dares not come too near | S |
| Keeps to the highest hill | G |
| The little brook it seems for fear | S |
| Of something strange is still | G |
| The Mystery | T |
| It well may be | T |
| That talks to it of Faerie | T |
