Then shrill small voices I heard.

And I saw from concealment a company of elf-folk

With faces strangely fair,

Talking their unearthly scattered talk together,

A bind of green-grasses in their hair,

Marvellously gentle, feater far than children,

In gesture, mien and speech,

Hastening onward in translucent shafts of sunshine,

And gossiping each with each.

Straw-light their locks, on neck and shoulder falling,
