Of birds that come for calling,

No fear or fright appalling,

When dews of dusk are falling,

Or daylight's draperies draw.

[Give me them, and the peace of mind—]

Give me these things then back, though the giving

Be at cost of earth's garner of gold;

There is no life without these worth living,

No treasure where these are not told.

For the heart give the hope that it knows not,
