Come in!

As I came to the edge of the woods,

Thrush music - hark!

Now if it was dusk outside,

Inside it was dark.


Too dark in the woods for a bird

By sleight of wing

To better it perch for the night,

Though it still could sing.


The last of the light of the sun

That had died in the west

Still lived for one song more

In a thrush'd breast.


Far in the pillared dark

Thrush musc went -

Almost like a call to come in

To the dark and lament.


But no, I was out for stars:

I wouldn't come in.

I meant not even if asked,

And I hadn't been.
