From the silver tops of moon-touch’d trees,

Where they swing in their cob-web hammocks high,

And rock’d about in the evening breeze;

Some from the hum-bird’s downy nest,—

They had driven him out by elfin power,

And pillow’d on plumes of his rainbow breast

Had slumber’d there till the charmed hour;

Some had lain in a scarp of the rock,

With glittering rising-stars inlaid,

And some had open’d the four-o’clock,
