Sherwood in the twilight¹, is Robin² Hood³ awake?

Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding⁴ through the brake;

Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn.

Robin Hood is here again; all his merry thieves

Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves,

Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,

In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Where the deer are gliding down the shadowy glen,

All across the glades⁵ of ferns he calls his merry men;

Doublets of Lincoln green, glancing through the May,

Calls them and they answer: from aisles⁶ of oak and ash

Rings the Follow! Follow! and boughs⁷ begin to crash;

The ferns begin to flutter and the flowers begin to fly;
