“They come from the beds of the Lichen green,

They creep from the Mullein’s velvet screen,

Some on the backs of beetles fly

From the silver tops of moon-touched trees,

Where they swing in their cobweb hammocks high,

And rocked about in the evening breeze;

Some from the hum-bird’s downy nest,

Had driven him out by Elfin power,

And pillowed on plumes of his rainbow crest,

Had slumbered there till the charmed hour;
