Hide And Seek

Topics: classic

Hide and seek, says the Wind,         In the shade of the woods;     Hide and seek, says the Moon,         To the hazel buds;     Hide and seek, says the Cloud,         Star on to star;     Hide and seek, says the Wave,         At the harbour bar;     Hide and seek, say I,         To myself, and step     Out of the dream of Wake         Into the dream of Sleep.
