Bright cap and streamers,
    He sings in the hollow:
    Come follow, come follow,
        All you that love.
Leave dreams to the dreamers
    That will not after,
    That song and laughter
        Do nothing move.

ribbons streaming
    He sings the bolder;
    In at his shoulder
        The wild bees hum.
And time of dreaming
    Dreams is over—
    As to lover,
        Sweetheart, I come.
