’Tis this which is the music all things sing—

The crocus dawn—the sunset crimsoning.

XXXIX

Late met we last night by the lake again

When faint for dawn I felt the dark to be;

Mist-veiled, the water lay all silently,

An opal, mystic, dim, Hungarian.

Beneath its milky whiteness I knew when

The call of day came crisping clear and free,

Troubling within the trees birds dream-drowsy
