THE moon o'er the hills to-night! A song where the spring-leaves blow, The setting of Youth's delight. Pale lamps of our learning's height! What is it shames you so? The moon o'er the hills to-night! O, the wine is sparkling bright With its subtle, sunshine glow — The setting of Youth's delight. The halls are ivory white, The river mirrors below, The moon o'er the hills to-night. Our hearts were fashioned aright For the comradeship we know, The setting of Youth's delight. Come! We shall be happy in spite That all shall fleetingly go — The moon o'er the hills to-night, The setting of Youth's delight! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE SALE OF MY FARM by ROBERT FROST SONG BY THE WINDOW BEFORE BED by KATHERINE MANSFIELD LEMON PIE by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST LAUSANNE: IN GIBBON'S OLD GARDEN by THOMAS HARDY SONNET ON SITTING DOWN TO READ KING LEAR ONCE AGAIN by JOHN KEATS AN EGYPTIAN PULLED GLASS BOTTLE IN THE SHAPE OF A FISH by MARIANNE MOORE RELIGIOUS ISOLATION, TO A REPUBLICAN FRIEND by MATTHEW ARNOLD |
