English poem
Fragment: 'Wake The Serpent Not'.
Wake the serpent not—lest he Should not know the way to go,— Let him crawl which yet lies sleeping Through the deep grass of the meadow! Not a bee shall hear him creeping, Not a may-fly shall awaken From its cradling blue-bell shaken, Not the starlight as he's sliding Through the grass with silent gliding.
