A Cottage There By the Willows

By the willows,

   where the sun shone gazing,

   streaming through arbors hazed,

And apple-cider scents were fermenting,

   by a pasture where the tree-people play ----

   sits a cottage by the bay


Where the willows weep long to seeking love,

   and sway they through will-o-wisps above,

Every evening the mountains moan with mists,

   with rainbows upon their darkling tips;

   polka-dot rocks along the path....

   and always butterfly's about the saplings,

   red earth rich from summer moons....

   (a cottage there by the willows)
