MUSHROOMS
The earth-bound corncake, she might know,
But that she went a month ago
To Egypt, where she lieth hid
Sand-deep beside a pyramid,

Nursing her honey-voice. Well then
The mystery, mystery must remain;
Since eyes of birds nor human eyes
No fairy secret shall surprise;

Of who in dew and dawn did fashion
The fairy rings in sweet rotation,
And set the mushrooms in the ring,
And who came hither mushrooming.
