Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

F . W. Stokoe . *THREE SONGS TO FIDELIO . F you will meet me where the moon 1 Is quiet on the moorland reaches , Or in the shade of dappled glade Beneath the haunted beeches If you will wait, О faery boy , I will not linger. So wave your hand from Faery Land And beckon with your finger . “ Awake ! Awake! ” I hear you cry . And now your reedy pipes are shrill Far , far away , beyond the day , Beyond the Faery Hill . But wait , but wait , О faery boy , I come by height and hollow . For now I hear your music clear Cry : “ Follow ! Follow ! Follow !” II . I may not catch you with my hands , Your voice is just beyond my ear , And vision cannot reach the lands Where I might see you clear : They are so far , so near . 179
