Shod with hush and winged with fleetness,

You may see the Little People,

Round and round the drowsy steeple

Of a belfried hollyhock,—

Clad in phlox and four-o'-clock,

Gay of gown and pantaloon,—

Dancing by the glimmering moon,

Till the cock, the long-necked cock,

Crows them they must vanish soon.
