Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime
All from the light of the sweet moon
Tired men now lie abed;
Actionless, full of visions, soon
Vanishing, soon sped.
The starry night aflock with beams
Of crystal light scarce stirs:
Only its birds -- the cocks, the streams,
Call 'neath heaven's wanderers.
All's silent; all hearts still;
Love, cunning, fire, fallen low:
When faint morn straying on the hill
Sighs, and his soft airs flow.
