A Song of Enchantment I sang me there, In a green -- green wood, by waters fair, Just as the words came up to me I sang it under the wild wood tree. Widdershins turned I, singing it low, Watching the wild birds come and go; No cloud in the deep dark blue to be seen Under the thick-thatched branches green. Twilight came; silence came; The planet of evening's silver flame; By darkening paths I wandered through Thickets trembling with drops of dew. But the music is lost and the words are gone Of the song I sang as I sat alone, Ages and ages have fallen on me -- On the wood and the pool and the elder tree. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAINT PATRICK by EDWIN MARKHAM THE WANTS OF MAN by JOHN QUINCY ADAMS THE HOMECOMING by THOMAS HARDY A THANKSGIVING TO GOD [FOR HIS HOUSE] by ROBERT HERRICK LINES by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO THE LARK by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
