At dusk the wood bird's song continuous rang
Like distant silver bells of utter sweetness.
"Veery, veery, veery," long it sang
Until -- O interval of rich repleteness --
The moon with deft and gleaming fingers played
On silvered waves a tinkling serenade.

The dulcet water harmony I heard
Accompanied the music of the bird.
Air, earth, and sky responded to the theme
That night when Summer dreamed a silver dream.
