T
All the dreamy hills below:
Here the willows wash their tresses
Where the water-lilies blow
In the stream that glideth slow.
Cloud-wreaths float through pallid light,
Like a flock of swans that changes
In the middle Autumn night
North for South in ordered flight.
More than I, of that veiled good
Whither all things tend, I wonder,
That ye follow the wind’s mood
In such patient quietude?
