A CLEAR MIDNIGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: This is thy hour, o soul, thy free flight into the wordless
Last Line: Night, sleep, death and the stars.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the
themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.
