A-tilt from out thy tune-tipped throat,

To weave faint melodies, afloat,

Or trail low, liquid lengths of song

The dawn along—

Into the roseate, fresh-waked morn—

This song, dew-drenched and lilting borne,

This song, that timid as a dove,

Creeps in my heart—this song I love.

How does my soul of song within me burn

For speech to stay the falt’ring, lute-like turn
