A Murmur in the Trees—to note—

A Murmur in the Trees — to note — Not loud enough — for Wind — A Star — not far enough to seek — Nor near enough — to find —

A long — long Yellow — on the Lawn — A Hubbub — as of feet — Not audible — as Ours — to Us — But dapperer — More Sweet —

A Hurrying Home of little Men To Houses unperceived — All this — and more — if I should tell — Would never be believed —

Of Robins in the Trundle bed How many I espy Whose Nightgowns could not hide the Wings — Although I heard them try —

But then I promised ne'er to tell — How could I break My Word? So go your Way — and I'll go Mine — No fear you'll miss the Road.
