I

The water-thrushes play
Where dogwood blossoms veil
The bridal banks with loveliness;
And white moths softly sail.
(In valleys when the noon
Drowns all other light,
I see the face of her I love
Like the moon at night.)

II

The long crane pinions home
Against the bluing sky,
And little hills put twilight on
While the wood-songs die.
(On upland fields when night
Drops like a cloud of crows,
I see the face of her I love
Shining like a rose.)
