Tree-High Nest

I want to have a tree-high nest
    Where silence does not cease,
        And leave the rest
            At peace. 

While there, I’ll dream of birds and fays
    Without the care of time,
        And live my days
            In rhyme. 

The summer’s heat will roll a-swing
    To visit my abode
        And gently sing
            Her ode. 

The winter cold shall never touch
    My heart while I am there,
        At ease in such
            A lair. 

The ages of the world shall pass
    Like shadows in a dream
        Whose colored glass
            Will gleam.
