WINTER NIGHT, by                    
First Line: The last white star is hung against the sky
Last Line: Sleeps still and warm.
Subject(s): Night; Winter; Bedtime


The last white star is hung against the sky
And the hills lie
Crouched on the silent earth, and stark trees stand
Ghost gibbets on the land.

Frost is like silver flame, or sullen rime
In the moon's time.
Spread on a hill's dark breast, a brooding farm
Sleeps still and warm.
