Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDDA EFEFGG FHGFG GIIHJJGKKK| COME with me follow me swift as a moth | A |
| Ere the wood doves waken | B |
| Lift the long leaves and look down look down | C |
| Where the light is shaken | B |
| Amber and brown | C |
| On the woven ivory roots of the reed | D |
| On a floating flower and a weft of weed | D |
| And a feather of froth | A |
| - | |
| Here in the night all wonders are | E |
| Lapped in the lift of the ripple's swing | F |
| A silver shell and a shaken star | E |
| And a white moth's wing | F |
| Here the young moon when the mists unclose | G |
| Swims like the bud of a golden rose | G |
| - | |
| I would live like an elf where the wild grapes cling | F |
| I would chase the thrush | H |
| From the red rose berries | G |
| All the day long I would laugh and swing | F |
| With the black choke cherries | G |
| - | |
| I would shake the bees from the milkweed blooms | G |
| And cool O cool | I |
| Night after night I would leap in the pool | I |
| And sleep with the fish in the roots of the rush | H |
| Clear O clear my dreams should be made | J |
| Of emerald light and amber shade | J |
| Of silver shallows and golden glooms | G |
| Sweet O sweet my dreams should be | K |
| As the dark sweet water enfolding me | K |
| Safe as a blind shell under the sea | K |
