WN by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-whitefeet
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would notagree
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky;
I left my shoes and socks there - I wonder if they're dry
As down Mount Emerald at eve I came, The mountain moon went all the way with me
Backward I looked, to see the heights aflame With a pale light that glimmered eerily

The boats are sailing homeward now across the harbor
With many a jest and many a shout from fishing grounds afar
I followed the narrow cliffside trail half way up the
Above the deep river-canyon
There was a little cataract crossed the path, flinging
Over tree roots and rocks, shaking the jeweled fern-fronds, bright bubbling
