Faery Morris

Topics: classic

I. The winds are whist; and, hid in mist, The moon hangs o'er the wooded height; The bushy bee, with unkempt head, Hath made the sunflower's disk his bed,     And sleeps half-hid from sight.     The owlet makes us melody -     Come dance with us in Fary,      Come dance with us to-night. II. The dew is damp; the glow-worm's lamp Blurs in the moss its tawny light; The great gray moth sinks, half-asleep, Where, in an elfin-laundered heap,     The lily-gowns hang white.     The crickets make us minstrelsy -     Come dance with us in Fary,      Come dance with us to-night. III. With scents of heat, dew-chilled and sweet, The new-cut hay smells by the bight; The ghost of some dead pansy bloom, The butterfly dreams in the gloom,     Its pied wings folded tight.     The world is lost in fantasy, -     Come dance with us in Fary,      Come dance with us to-night.
