Pipers of tho chilly pools,

Summon nil tho singing hosts,

Through tho cool and teeming damp
Of tho twilight air,
Call till all tho April children
Answer ovcrywhero.
From your pld nnd fluting throats
Pipe tho world awaitc,
Pipe tho mould to move again,
Pipe tho sod to break.
Plpo tho mating song of earth,
And tho fecund lire,
Lovo nnd laughter, pang nnd dream,
Desire, desire, desuo.
Then a wonder Bhall appear,
Mlraclo of tlmo;
Up through root and germ and sap

Llfo shall climb and climb. .
Then tho hiding things shall hear you
And tho sleeping stir,
And tho far-off troops of exile
Gather to confer;
Then tho rain shall kiss tho bud
And tho Bun tho bee,
Till they all, tho painted children,
Wing hy flower got free.
And nmld the 'shining grass
Ephemera arise,
And tho wlndflowors In tho hollow
Open starry eyes.
And delight comes in to whisper
"Soon, soon, soon,
Earth shall bo but ono wild blossom
Breathing to tho moon."
