Turned and trooped the goblin men,
With their shrill repeated cry,
“Come buy, come buy.”

through the burning cathedral of the summer.
My bank of wild grass is majestic
and full of music.
It is a fire that solitude presses
against my lips."

In meadows and in marshes found.
Of them so called the Faerie ground.
Of which they have the keeping."
