SHADOWS. 



Airily swing the willows over, 



Airily to and fro ; 



Dreamily flows the quiet water, 



Over the rocks below ; 



Flows in many a sunny ripple, 



In and out in curve and dimple, 



Round about the rocks below, 



Where the light lies on the river. 



Where the willows bend and quiver, 



Long dark shadows shift and shiver, 



Shiver to and fro ; 



Gray beard Time, his scythe forgetting, 



Toys with rosy June, 



Loth to part, with step unwilling. 



Slowly toward noon. 



But the willows tossing, blowing. 



O'er the waters smoothly flowing, 



Evermore their shadows throwing, 



Break the lull of noon. 



Twilight gathering in the valley. 



Sunset on the height ; 



Clouds above the mountain breaking 



Into rifts of light. 



Darkness now upon the meadows. 



Higher, higher climb the shadows. 



Nearer comes the night. 



Curving, dimpling flows the river. 



With the willows drooping over 



Biit no shadow's fitful quiver 



Stirs the hush of night.
