What the Scare-crow Said

The dim-winged spirits of the night

Do fear and serve me well.

They creep from out the hedges of

The garden where I dwell.

I wave my arms across the walk.

The troops obey the sign,

And bring me shimmering shadow-robes

And cups of cowslip-wine.

Then dig a treasure called the moon,

A very precious thing,

And keep it in the air for me

Because I am a King.
