Subject(s): Dreams; Forests; Love; Moon; Nightmares; Woods


The moon shines now
White in the woods;
From every bough
Cometh in floods
A voice divine . . .
O love of mine!

The pool of jet,
Deep mirror sees
In silhouette
The willow trees
That moan and gleam . . .
O hour of dream!

Tender and vast,
A peacefulness
Drifts downward past
The shadowless
Star-purple night . . .
Hour of delight!
