I will make you brooches and toys for your
Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night.
I make a palace fit for you and me
Of days in forests and blue days at sea.
I make my kitchen, and you shall keep your room,
white flows the river and bright blows the broom,
you shall wash your linen and keep your body
In rainfall at morning and dewfall at night.
And shall be for music when no one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
Of broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
