THE CHILD IN THE STORY AWAKES

The light of dawn rose on my dreams,

And from afar I seemed to hear

In sleep the mellow blackbird call

Hollow and sweet and clear.

I prythee, Nurse, my casement open,

Wildly the garden peals with singing,

And hooting through the dewy pines

The goblins all are winging.

O listen the droning of the bees,
