The poem describes a springtime night where shadows appear amidst lantern light in the trees dressed in ribbons. A group has been rambling all night and brings back a garland gay, going down to shady groves to summon shadows and tie ribbons in the sheltering arms of trees. When the fiddler plays, the songs of birds filling the wood can still be heard, and the group links hands to dance in circles and rows before the night descends as the shades disappear.
