And gnats are humming through the sedge,

And on the leaf of each wide lily

The scaly newts do lay their eggs

And the small people dip their legs

To shatter the moonshine floating stilly

O'er the pool's mystic weedy dregs!

Think yet again on rolling hills

Where little sleepy new-born rills

Are bedded deep in upland mosses,

Where tiny stars of tormentils
