Wrongly of slumber, rudely of rest.

“From the north, from the east, from the south and the west,

Woodland, wheat-field, corn-field, clover,

Over and over and over and over,

Five o’clock, ten o’clock, twelve or seven,

Nothing but robin-songs heard under heaven:

How can we sleep?”

—Sidney Lanier, “Owl Against Robin.”
