\"SeashellVenice\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went out to the hazel wood,<\/address>\n
Because a fire was in my head,<\/address>\n
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,<\/address>\n
And hooked a berry to a thread;<\/address>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

And when white moths were on the wing,<\/address>\n
And moth-like stars were flickering out,<\/address>\n
I dropped the berry in a stream<\/address>\n
And caught a little silver trout.<\/address>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

When I had laid it on the floor<\/address>\n
I went to blow the fire aflame,<\/address>\n
But something rustled on the floor,<\/address>\n
And some one called me by my name:<\/address>\n
It had become a glimmering girl<\/address>\n
With apple blossom in her hair<\/address>\n
Who called me by my name and ran<\/address>\n
And faded through the brightening air.<\/address>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Though I am old with wandering<\/address>\n
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,<\/address>\n
I will find out where she has gone,<\/address>\n
And kiss her lips and take her hands;<\/address>\n
And walk among long dappled grass,<\/address>\n
And pluck till time and times are done<\/address>\n
The silver apples of the moon,<\/address>\n
The golden apples of the sun.<\/address>\n
