Will o' the Wisp

Walter de la Mare

'Will-o'-the-Wisp,
come out of the fen,
And vex no more
Benighted men!'
Pale, blue,
Wavering, wan
'Will-o'-the-Wisp
Begone, begone!'

But the trees weep,
The mist-drops hang,
Light dwindles
The bents among.
Oh, and he hovers,
Oh, and he flies,
Will-o'-the-Wisp,
With the baleful eyes.
