A Murmur in the Trees – to note –
Not loud enough – for Wind –
A star – not far enough to seek –
Nor near enough – to find – 

A long – long Yellow – on the Lawn –
A  Hubbub – as of feet –
Not audible – as Our’s – to us –
But dapperer – more sweet –

 

A Hurrying Home of little Men

To Houses unperceived –
All this – and more – if I should
tell –
Would never be believed –

 

Of Robins in the Trundle bed

How many I espy
Whose Nightgowns could not
hide the Wings –
Although I heard them try –

 

 

 ¦

 

But then I promised ne′er
to tell –
How could I break My word?
So go your way – and I′ll go
Mine –
No fear you′ll miss the Road.
