XIII

Another night dreams on the Cornish hills:

Trembling within the low moon's pallid fires,

The tall corn-tassels lift their fragrant spires;

From filmy spheres, a liquid starlight fills --

Like dew of daffodils --

The fragile dark, where multitudinous

The rhythmic, intermittent silence thrills,

Like song, the valleys. -- "Hark!" he murmurs, "Thus

May bards from crickets learn their canticles!"
