First Line: An ominous bird sang from its branch
Last Line: Who walks with her.'
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
An ominous bird sang from its branch,
'Beware, O Wanderer!
Night 'mid her flowers of glamourie spilled
Draws swiftly near:
'Night with her darkened caravans,
Piled deep with silver and myrrh,
Draws from the portals of the East,
O Wanderer, near.
'Night who walks plumed through the fields
Of stars that strangely stir --
Smitten to fire by the sandals of him
Who walks with her.'
