The rain among the trees,

The wind upon the turrets. Had he moaned,

Now that he lay awake and heard the wind

Hoot on the towers like a green-eyed owl?

The rain and wind. The night is black with rain.

Within the forest like a voice the wind;

And on the turrets, like swift feet, the rain.

Now was he sure 'twas weeping; and arose,

And found her at his door; and took her hand,

That like a soft persuasion lay in his.
