II

I see thee quaintly

Beneath the leaf; thy shell-shaped winglets faintly--

(As thin as spangle

Of cobwebbed rain)--held up at airy angle;

I hear thy tinkle

With faery notes the silvery stillness sprinkle;

Investing wholly

The moonlight with divinest melancholy:

Until, in seeming,

I see the Spirit of Summer sadly dreaming

Amid her ripened orchards, russet-strewn,

Her great, grave eyes fixed on the harvest-moon.
