<br/>
<p>Shadow-Nets</p>
<p>When I was wandering on the Downs to-day<br/>
I saw the pine-woods sleeping in the sun . . .<br/>
For they were tired of weaving shadow-nets—<br/>
Weaving all day in vain . . . in vain . . . in vain . . .<br/>
Pale phantom nets to snare the golden sun!<br/>
And then I thought of how the poets weave<br/>
With shadowy words their cunning nets of song,<br/>
Hoping to catch, at last, a shining dream!</p>
