And of Laughter That Was a Changeling
All day long I played in an orchard
Alone with a changeling child,
How should I guess that a little blue bonnet
Shaded a glance so wild?
All day long we played in the orchard
With apples russet and red,
All day long the little blue bonnet
Followed wherever I led.
Never, I think, was such mirth in an orchard
As the mirth betwixt us two,
But at dusk when I lifted her, laughing, laughing,
Over the brook — I knew.

But at dusk when I lifted her, laughing, laughing,
Over the brook — I knew.
