 FOR a moon to light me home!
 * O for a lanthorn green!

For those sweet stars the Pleiades, That glitter in the darkling trees;
 * O for a lovelorn taper! O
 * For a lanthorn green!

O for a frock of tartan!
 * O for clear, wild grey eyes!

For fingers light as violets, 'Neath branches that the blackbird frets;
 * O for a thistly meadow! O
 * For clear, wild grey eyes!

O for a heart like almond boughs!
 * O for sweet thoughts like rain!

O for first-love like fields of grey Shut April-buds at break of day!
 * O for a sleep like music!
 * Dreams still as rain!
