THE HOUR OF MAGIC, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: This is the hour of magic, when the moon

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.


THIS is the hour of magic, when the Moon
With her bright wand has charmed the tallest tree
To stand stone still with all his million leaves!
I feel around me things I cannot see;
I hold my breath, as nature holds her own.
And do the mice and birds, the horse and cow,
Sleepless in this deep silence, so intense,
Believe a miracle has happened now,
And wait to hear a sound they'll recognize,
To prove they still have life with earthly ties?
