Lovers' Lane

Topics: classic

This cool quiet of trees     In the grey dusk of the north,     In the green half-dusk of the west,     Where fires still glow;     These glimmering fantasies     Of foliage branching forth     And drooping into rest;     Ye lovers, know     That in your wanderings     Beneath this arching brake     Ye must attune your love     To hushed words.     For here is the dreaming wisdom of     The unmovable things...     And more: - walk softly, lest ye wake     A thousand sleeping birds.
