It was night.
Clouds,—
A fleet of soft white snow-drift clouds
Sailed by
On a blue-black sea;
And here and there,
From the depths of this sea,
A star flashed forth
With its spear of light. ....
And when the clouds sailed close
They spread a veil across the moon
Till its silver shone
Like an opal-tinted aureole. ....
Then grew my heart all glad,
For never had I seen
Such a silver moon,
And such bright star-light,
And such snow-drift clouds
Asail on a blue-black sky. ...
