Only the perfect hour is mine to know.

O you who forth along the highway ride,

Whose quest the whispering wood shall close around,

Be all adventure high that may betide,

And gentle all enchantments therein found!

I would my song were as a trumpet-sound

To nerve you and speed, and weld its notes with power

To the remembrance of your perfect hour;

To ring again and again, and to recall
