/ Into the sunset's turquoise marge / The moon dips, like a pearly barge / Enchantment sails through magic seas / To faeryland Hesperides, / Over the hills and away.

/ Into the fields, in ghost-gray gown, / The young-eyed Dusk comes slowly down; / Her apron filled with stars she stands, / And one or two slip from her hands / Over the hills and away.

/ Above the wood's black caldron bends / The witch-faced Night and, muttering, blends / The dew and heat, whose bubbles make / The mist and musk that haunt the brake / Over the hills and away.

/ Oh, come with me, and let us go / Beyond the sunset lying low; / Beyond the twilight and the night, / Into Love's kingdom of long light, / Over the hills and away.
