<poem> | |||
Dim vales, and shadowy floods, | |||
And cloudy-looking woods, | |||
Whose forms we can't discover | |||
For the tears that drip all over | |||
Huge moons there wax and wane, | |||
Again, again, again, | |||
Every moment of the night, | |||
Forever changing places, | |||
And they put out the star-light | |||
With the breath from their pale faces. | |||
About twelve by the moon-dial | |||
One more filmy than the rest | |||
(A kind which, upon trial, | |||
They have found to be the best) | |||
Comes down, still down, and down | |||
With its centre on the crown | |||
Of a mountain's eminence, | |||
While its wide circumference | |||
In easy drapery falls | |||
Over hamlets, over halls, | |||
Wherever they may be, | |||
O'er the strange woods, o'er the sea, | |||
Over spirits on the wing, | |||
Over every drowsy thing, | |||
And buries them up quite | |||
In a labyrinth of light, | |||
And then, how deep!, O, deep! | |||
Is the passion of their sleep. | |||

Dim vales, and shadowy floods,
And cloudy-looking woods,
Whose forms we can't discover
For the tears that drip all over
Huge moons there wax and wane,
Again, again, again,
Every moment of the night,
Forever changing places,
And they put out the star-light
With the breath from their pale faces.
About twelve by the moon-dial
One more filmy than the rest
(A kind which, upon trial,
They have found to be the best)
Comes down, still down, and down
With its centre on the crown
Of a mountain's eminence,
While its wide circumference
In easy drapery falls
Over hamlets, over halls,
Wherever they may be,
O'er the strange woods, o'er the sea,
Over spirits on the wing,
Over every drowsy thing,
And buries them up quite
In a labyrinth of light,
And then, how deep!, O, deep!
Is the passion of their sleep.
