1555 Quatrains

WHEN winds go organing through the pines

On hill and headland, darkly gleaming,

Meseems I hear sonorous lines

Of Iliads that the woods are dreaming.

BEHOLD a hag whom Life denies a kiss

As he rides questward in knight-errant-wise;

Only when he hath passed her is it his

To know, too late, the Fairy in disguise.
