Thy crimson moon and azure eye—

Cock of the heath, so wildly shy!

I see thee slowly cowering through

That wiry web of silver dew,

That twinkles in the morning air,

Like casement of my lady fair.

A maid there is in yonder tower,

Who, peeping from her early bower,

Half shows, like thee, with simple wile,

Her braided hair and morning smile.
