The Valley

By Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

I KNOW a valley in the summer hills,

Haunted by little winds and daffodils;

Faint footfalls and soft shadows pass at noon;

Noiseless, at night, the clouds assemble there;

And ghostly summits hang below the moon—

Dim visions lightly swung in silent air.
