VAGABOND BRIDE.

Make her bed of the mosses green, This is where she must lie, With the broad leaf shadow and green leaf sheen Between her face and the sky; And a bird will sing at even and morn When little brown dusks and stars are born. Come, soft slee , on a merry wind, !uffle the branches light, Bring the dreams that the elfmen bind With flowing ribbons of night, The dear white dreams that go two"and"two Through the ha y meadows of #"love"you. $ings go forth with a sword of fire That %ueens may wee alone; And the great of the earth must kiss desire #n a darksome house of stone. But the old, wise stars in the roof above &hine all the night in the 'ouse of (ove. $ing am # of the wide free air, )ueen is she of my heart. The bushes bow to a royal air As we toss the green a art; And all the world love"homage ays #n notes of gold on the grassy ways. *ewel"bo+ of the shining night, , ened with crystal keys'ere.s choice of gems for each bridal night To wear on the veil of the bree/e; And the great white day has a wedding song #n the high cathedral of Think"no"Wrong. (ift of the wind lis of the tree'eart of my heart, slee well0 There shall be sweets for the honey"bee #n star and cu and bell; And a bird will sing1.,h, swift love, fly 2or the first time look of her morning eye.
