The world is sleeping, and the earth is dark,
The lamps are out, the window lights are gone:
Was that a bird that twittered in its sleep,
Or was it but a fancy, here alone?
Who said the earth is dark -- the Moon has come
To silver many a tump and hollow place;
Dark Earth and Moonlight -- and I see a child
Stroke with her tender hand a blinded face.
