HIDE AND SEEK

HIDE and seek, says the Wind,
In the shade of the woods;
Hide and seek, says the Moon,
To the hazel buds;
Hide and seek, says the Cloud,
Star on to star;
Hide and seek, says the Wave
At the harbour bar;
Hide and seek, say I
To myself, and step
Out of the dream of Wake
Into the dream of Sleep.
