rooks are crowding home as evening lowers
The late and early twilight alone and sweet for me. Rooks in New College Gardens T HRO’ rosy cloud, and over thorny towers, Their wings with all the autumn distance filled, From Isis’ valley border hundred-hilled, The rooks are crowding home as evening lowers: Not for men only and their musing hours, By battled walls did gracious Wykeham build These dewy spaces early sown and stilled, These dearest inland melancholy bowers.
— from A Roadside Harp: A Book of Verses by Louise Imogen Guiney

Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
