Poems there were on every side last night:
A Live-oak trembling in the frosted light;

A Moonbeam's daughter, cradled on a leaf,
Hushed by a lusty windsong -- minor, brief;

A Redbird's cry, low-throated to her own;
A water-sigh against deep-bosomed stone;

Fragrance of clover, rifled by a breeze
And lightly marketed among the trees;

A young Elm's slender arms in prayer upstretched;
A kiss upon my ear right smartly fetched!
