All its birds in middle air hung a-dream, their music thralled.

The Lady of fair weeping,

At the garden's core,

Sang a song of sweet and sore

And the after-sleeping;

In the land of Luthany, and the tracts of Elenore.

With sweet-pangèd singing,

Sang she through a dream-night's day;

That the bowers might stay,

Birds bate their winging,
