And flutters round their honeyed blooms:

Long, languid clouds, like ivory,

That isle the blue lagoons of sky,

Grow red as molten gold and dye

With flame the pine-dark glooms.

Dew, dripping from wet fern and leaf;

The wind, that shakes the blossom's sheaf;

The slender sound of water lone,

That makes a harp-string of some stone,

And now a wood-bird's twilight moan,
