Dream-Song
By
Walter de la Mare

Sunlight, moonlight,
Twilight, Starlight–
Gloaming at the close of day,
And an owl calling.
Cool dews falling
In a wood of oak and may.

Lantern-light, taper-light,
Torch-light, no-light:
Darkness at the shut of day,
And lions roaring,
Their wrath purring
In the wild waste place far away,.

Elf-light, bat-light,
Touchwood-light, and toad-light,
And the sea a  shimmering gloom and gray,
And a small face smiling
In a dream beguiling
In a world of wonders far away
