First Line: In the grey solitudes
Last Line: O moaning loon?
Subject(s): Loons
In the grey solitudes,
When night was falling,
Far in the autumn woods
A loon was calling,
Uttering what distress,
To what replying;
Alone in the wilderness
The voice of one crying.
Fairer because of thee,
How hath the moon
Won this new majesty,
O moaning loon?
