The Dwellers Therein + 

Down a warm alley, early in the year, + 

Among the woods, with all the sunshine in + 

And all the winds outside it, I begin + 

To think that something gracious will appear, + 

If anything of grace inhabit here, + 

Or there be friendship in the woods to win. + 

Might one but find companions more akin + 

To trees and grass and happy daylight clear, + 

And in this wood spend one long hour at home! + 

The fairies do not love so bright a place, + 

And angels to the forest never come, + 

But I have dreamed of some harmonious race, + 

The kindred of the shapes that haunt the shore + 

Of Music’s flow and flow for evermore. + 
