FOR M. S.
Such cool peace as fills / Green solitudes with trembling light at eve,
Fresh after summer thunder: and thin leaves / Stir gleaming, and grow still; then the green light / Alone moves, pulsing in pooled air, that shakes / No more with sound. Quiet brims full; then break / As dropping rain hurrying elfin feet,
A silvery foam of sound blown as white spray, / Sparkling with great bright bubbles: no sound to sense,
Bright foam upon blue pools of quiet tossed: / And a sight of waven manes that gleam / Shaken in the twilight under luminous leaves; / And challenging fairy horns that invite to the chace / Gay, light o' heart. And the galloping host,
Winding their horns, rush by as wind in the grass,
Shimmering; and the horns from afar ring out, / Farther and farther away.
