From 'Wild Thorn and Lily'A
-
Among the white haw blossoms where the creekB
Droned under drifts of dogwood and of hawC
The redbird like a crimson blossom blownD
Against the snow white bosom of the SpringE
The chaste confusion of her lawny breastF
Sang on prophetic of serener daysG
As confident as June's completer hoursH
And I stood listening like a hind who hearsI
A wood nymph breathing in a forest fluteJ
Among the beech boles of myth haunted waysG
And when it ceased the memory of the airK
Blew like a syrinx in my brain I madeL
A lyric of the notes that men might knowM
-
He flies with flirt and flutingE
As flies a crimson starN
From flaming star beds shootingE
From where the roses areN
-
Wings past and sings and sevenO
Notes wild as fragrance isP
That turn to flame in heavenO
Float round him full of blissQ
-
He sings each burning featherR
Thrills throbbing at his throatS
A song of firefly weatherR
And of a glowworm boatS
-
Of Elfland and a princessT
Who born of a perfumeU
His music rocks where wincesT
That rosebud's cradled bloomU
-
No bird sings half so airyV
No bird of dusk or dawnW
Thou masking King of FaeryV
Thou red crowned OberonX
