In the verdant springtime
Pipes the whippoorwill
Down along the Hunters lane
And hill echoes to hill.
The first wan star of evening
Peeps DER bars of cloud
l@ drosy heads of clover
Are drenched with dew and bowed.
The meadow pool is holding
Within its silver rim
The languid willows dropping
And stars yet burning dim.
Perfume sweet Is drifting
From blossoms white and pink
OF peach tree in the garden
OF pear tree by the sink.
Moonlight mellow's falling
Der countryside and town
Silvering the housetops
Tower and chimney brown.
Faint and far | hear him
Calling from the hill
The owl to the Night Gods
All is hushed and still.

stances.
The rules, as set forth by him. are
