Dream-Song

by
Walter de la Mare


Sunlight, Moonlight,
Twilight, Starlight--
Gloaming as the close of day,
And an owl calling.
Cool dews falling
In a wood of oak and may,

Lantern-light, Taper-light,
Torch-light, no-light:
Darkness at the shut of day,
And lions roaring,
Their wrath purring
In the wild waste place far away.

Elf-light, Bat-light,
Touchwood-light,and Toad-light,
And the sea a simmering gloom and gray,
And a small, face smiling
In a dream beguiling
In a world of wonders far away.
