MOONGLADE
Moonglade upon the waters whitely lying; Though the wind, shouting from the western verge, Herdeth the huddled cloud-rack, flying—flying— Glory still re-emergent, rift-descrying, Spanneth the somber surge. Moonglade, O Moonglade, heavenly calm and still, Throned on the tossing manes unbroke to thill, I know, beholding thee, The storm will pass, and night upon the sea!
