Fairy noon

Hear the call!
Fays, be still!
Noon is deep
On vale and hill.
Stir no sound
The Forest round!
Let all things hush
That fly or creep, --
Tree and bush,
Air and ground!
Hear the call!
Silence keep !
One and all
Hush, and sleep !

by William Allingham (1824-1889) , "The noon call", from Songs, Ballads and Stories, in Prince Brightkin, published 1877
