First Line: A dark sail
Last Line: The ever-returning stars.
Subject(s): Moon; Night; Stars; Bedtime
A dark sail,
Like a wild-goose wing,
Where the sunset was.
The moon soon will silver its sinewy flight
Through the night watches,
And the far flight
Of those immortal migrants,
The ever-returning stars.
