THERE is a singing in the summer air	A
The blue and brown moths flutter o er the grass	B
The stubble bird is creaking in the wheat	C
And perch d upon the honeysuckle hedge	D
Pipes the green linnet Oh the golden world	E
The stir of life on every blade of grass	B
The motion and the joy on every bough	F
The glad feast everywhere for things that love	G
The sunshine and for things that love the shade	H
	-
Aimlessly wandering with weary feet	C
Watching the wool white clouds that wander by	I
I come upon a lonely place of shade	H
A still green Pool where with soft sound and stir	J
The shadows of o erhanging branches sleep	K
Save where they leave one dreamy space of blue	L
O er whose soft stillness ever and anon	M
The feathery cirrus blows Here unaware	A
I pause and leaning on my staff I add	N
A shadow to the shadows and behold	O
Dim dreams steal down upon me with a hum	P
Of little wings a murmuring of boughs	Q
The dusky stir and motion dwelling here	R
Within this small green world O ershadow d	S
By dusky greenery tho all around	T
The sunshine throbs on fields of wheat and bean	M
Downward I gaze into the dreamy blue	L
And pass into a waking sleep wherein	M
The green boughs rustle feathery wreaths of cloud	U
Pass softly piloted by golden airs	V
The air is still no birds sing any more	W
And helpless as a tiny flying thing	X
I am alone in all the world with God	Y
	-
The wind dies not a leaf stirs on the Pool	Z
The fly scarce moves earth seems to hold her breath	A2
Until her heart stops listening silently	S
For the far footsteps of the coming rain	M
	-
While thus I pause it seems that I have gain d	S
New eyes to see my brain grows sensitive	B2
To trivial things that at another hour	J
Had pass d unheeded Suddenly the air	A
Shivers the shadows in whose midst I stand	C2
Tremble and blacken the blue eye o the Pool	Z
Is clos d and clouded with a sudden gleam	D2
Oiling its wings a swallow darteth past	E2
And weedling flowers beneath my feet thrust up	F2
Their leaves to feel the fragrant shower Oh hark	G2
The thirsty leaves are troubled into sighs	H2
And up above me on the glistening boughs	Q
Patters the summer rain	M
	-
Into a nook	I2
Screen d by thick foliage of oak and beech	J2
I creep for shelter and the summer shower	J
Murmurs around me Oh the drowsy sounds	K2
The pattering rain the numerous sigh of leaves	L2
The deep warm breathing of the scented air	A
Sink sweet into my soul until at last	E2
Comes the soft ceasing of the gentle fall	M2
And lo the eye of blue within the Pool	Z
Opens again while with a silvern gleam	D2
Dew diamonds twinkle moistly on the leaves	L2
Or shaken downward by the summer wind	N2
Fall melting on the Pool in rings of light	O2
