Music: Elizabeth Maconchy
The fountain murmuring of sleep,
A drowsy tune;
The flickering green of leaves that keep
The light of June;
Peace, through a slumbering afternoon,
The peace of June
A waiting ghost in the blue sky,
The white curved moon;
June, hushed and breathless, waits, and I
Wait, too, with June.
Come, through the lingering afternoon,
Soon, love, come soon.
