Windy whispers gently wofting O'er the treetops touched with liqht, Corelessiy the sprite streom sollies, Cloudless cleor's the sky ond bright. From q dim ond unknown dorkness Seems to Ilcot {rom height to vo1e, Liqhtly liltinq elfin loughter, Borne by dreo'mJilled, fcriry soils. By the brook thot's bobbling, bubblinq, Horizon-strewn, mcjestic mountolns Etched ogoinst on ozure deep Lie, o mogic mist enchonting Lightly lingers o,s they sieep. And the sun in molten modness Miqhtily from yeors cwoy, Bothes this scene serene with qlodness To complete o perfect doy, Boiling on iis brimming woy, Myriods o{ unseen creotures Scomper, scurry, never stoy.
