I know a green grass path that leaves the ______
And, like a running river, winds along
______ a leafy wood, where is no throng
Of birds ______ noon-day; and no soft throats yield
Their music to ______ moon. The place is sealed,
An unclaimed sovereignty ______ voiceless song,
And all the unravished silences belong
______ some sweet singer lost, or unrevealed.
So is my ______ become a silent place....
Oh, ______ I wake from this uneasy night
To find ______ voice of music manifold.
Let it be shape of ______ with wan face,
Or love that swoons on sleep, or else delight
That is as wide-eyed as ______ marigold.
