Par and far away tl.e little folk aro calling, Calling us to comejto them across tho sliadow-lands, . _ . Wailing in tho coverts and in tho windy places To thoso that cannot hear them nor feci their clinging hands; Crying in tho moonlight and tho starlight cold and chill, . When all tho world, is quiet.and tho wind has got Ills will, And tho flying shadows shift and deepen and aro still. Tho air is full of voices from tho bees among the heather. 'And tho curlow in tho uplands whistles long and sweet; Yet itho world is all' too busy to leavo its haunts and lister. ' And it cannot hear the mcssage.for tho 'roaring of' the' street; - - Could we but forsake our buying and lot our selling be, And ;leavo tho .dusty highway for the , moorland and the sea, ■' All our bonds should thon bo loosened, and our souls bs free. ; . The dreary endless houses overshadow us ■ with greyness, _ ' And our ears aro dulled and heavy with the wheels that conio and go Grinding on for ever down tho grim discordant roadways To the sound of countless footsteps hurrying to and fro; Yet above tho iioise and turmoil of tho people going by, _ ■ Comes a runo-song of tho mountains ■ and tho cloudless open sky. And tho glamour of tho marshes with the peewits flying high. A ceaseless haunting melody of loved things lialf-forgotten, Of undiscovered kingdoms luring us to Toam; A song that always callcd us, a song of many meanings, But ono'that sings to all men of the fair road lipme. And you arid I will rise, dear heart, and go whilo yet wo may Beyond tho peaceful sunset isles and' borders of the day, For tho Fairy-folk ore calling us, far . and far n,way. —B. R. M. Hotherington, in "Tho Bookman.'" _■
