AUTUMN night, in moonlight lying, Solemn, pallid, sacred night, Thy cool lips, so softly sighing, Summer's eyes shut with touch light. Silver cloudlets, elfin veiling, Follow wave of thy white hand; Thousand wishes, never failing, Bear they into dreams' fair land. Peace proclaiming, peace aye bringing, Ent'ring ev'ry little room, Where'er anguish souls is wringing, Bearing healing, thou dost come. Lost in dreams, by dreams led captive, Lean I weary at the door; When wilt thou, night calm and pensive, Peace to me for aye restore? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES THE DAFT DAYS by ROBERT FERGUSSON THE SERGEANT'S WEDDIN' by RUDYARD KIPLING ODES I, 9.
