Further in summer than the birds

Further in Summer than the Birds -
Pathetic from the Grass -
A minor Nation celebrates
It's unobtrusive Mass.

No Ordinance be seen -
So gradual the Grace
A gentle Custom it becomes -
Enlarging Loneliness -

Antiquest felt at Noon -
When August burning low
Arise this spec - tral[^a1] Canticle
Repose to typify -

[^a1: spec - tral | spectral]

Remit as yet no Grace -
No furrow on the Glow,
But a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now -
