The Inn of Dreams

The purple twilight came, and the amber moon . . .
  And the fairies danced with me . . .
And the shy fauns crept from the tangled thicket near,
  And the startled dryads bent,
White and starry-eyed, each from her secret tree,
To watch that mystical dance, to share that heavenly swoon
  That mad, bright banishment. . . .
For we were free in the perfect country, dear,
When purple twilight came and the amber moon . . .

Some day I shall dance again that mystical dance . . .
  I know not when or where!
