Into a little house I'll build.

But first I'll shrink to fairy size,

With a whisper no one understands,

Making blind moons of all your eyes,

And muddy roads of all your hands.

And you may grope for me in vain

In hollows under mangrove root,

Or where, in apple-scented rain,

The silver wasp-nests hang like fruit.
