From glen to glen, and down the mountain side,
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go, and I must bide.”

Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men.”

The gray and wintry sides of many glens,
And did but half remember human words,
In converse with the mountains, moors, and fens.”

“Enough of dreams! No longer mock
The burdened hearts of men!
Not on the cloud, but on the rock
Build thou thy faith again;O range no more the realms of air,
Stoop to the glen-bound streams;
Thy hope was all too like despair:
Enough, enough of dreams.”

Alfred Noyes (1880–1958) English poet
