IA
-
Secluded solitary on some underboughB
Or cradled in a leaf 'mid glimmering lightC
Like Puck thou crouchest Haply watching howD
The slow toadstool comes bulging moony whiteC
Through loosening loam or how against the nightC
The glowworm gathers silver to endowD
The darkness with or how the dew conspiresE
To hang at dusk with lamps of chilly firesE
Each blade that shrivels nowD
-
IIA
-
O vague confederate of the whippoorwillF
Of owl and cricket and the katydidG
Thou gatherest up the silence in one shrillF
Vibrating note and send'st it where half hidG
In cedars twilight sleeps each azure lidG
Drooping a line of golden eyeball stillF
Afar yet near I hear thy dewy voiceE
Within the Garden of the Hours apoiseE
On dusk's deep daffodilF
-
IIIA
-
Minstrel of moisture silent when high noonH
Shows her tanned face among the thirsting cloverI
And parching meadows thy tenebrious tuneH
Wakes with the dew or when the rain is overI
Thou troubadour of wetness and damp loverI
Of all cool things admitted comrade boonH
Of twilight's hush and little intimateJ
Of eve's first fluttering star and delicateJ
Round rim of rainy moonH
-
IV-
-
Art trumpeter of Dwarfland does thy hornK
Inform the gnomes and goblins of the hourI
When they may gambol under haw and thornK
Straddling each winking web and twinkling flowerI
Or bell ringer of Elfland whose tall towerI
The liriodendron is from whence is borneK
The elfin music of thy bell's deep bassE
To summon Faeries to their starlit mazeE
To summon them or warnK
