From ’neath the world’s beshadowed side.

A night bird chatteth to its mate,

And lazily the fir-boughs wave.

We track us to the cot whose roof

Doth sag—and why thy shambling tread?

I bid ye on!

Dreamer:

Who art thou—again I that demand—

That I shall follow at thy bidding?

Who set me then this task?
