The Valley
From The Man with the Hoe and Other Poems (1899)
Social Commentaries
I know a valley in the summer hills,
Haunted by little winds and daffodils;
Faint footfalls and soft shadows pass at noon;
Noiseless, at night, the clouds assemble there;
And ghostly summits hang below the moon--
Dim visions lightly swung in silent air.
