Into the cool of night—if she came to me now!

The horses are untackled, the chattering machine

Is still at last. If she would come,

I would gather up the warm hay from

The hill-brow, and lie in her lap till the green

Sky ceased to quiver, and lost its tired sheen.

I should like to drop

On the hay, with my head on her knee

And lie stone still, while she

Breathed quiet above me—we could stop
