Marvelous thought took hold of them wholly,

Azure of mingled darkness and light,

And they deepened to dark-heart sapphire slowly

With brooding on the splendor of night;

And the first of the bluebells of white Wernoleu

Bloomed, night-blueness dight.

And that's why the wern at Alder-Light

Is sweet with silence and deep in dream,

In that wizard region of dream-delight

Beyond the stile and the stream,
