Bladed beauty's lifted urns;

Woods all shadowed, cooling earth,

Murmuring of a quiet mirth,[16]

[16]

Pour damp odours where they pass,

Breath of fern and earth and grass ...

Ramblers on a lichened wall,

Ramblers, ramblers pouring all

Colour that the world has known

Out upon an aging stone.—

Little towns of street and spire,

Dooryard roses, heart's desire,

Light a dream within the mind,

Light a dream ... and fall behind.

God of mercies—when I slept,

World on world of summer kept

Turning, turning softly by,—

Summer earth and summer sky:

Fields of summer that will be

Summer always unto me—
