And the nursling of the Sky.

As Brandes puts it; When the cloud sings thus of the moon:

When

That orbed maiden with white fire laden,

Whom Mortals call the Moon,

Glides glimmering o'er my fleece-like floor

By the midnight breezes strewn;

And wherever the beat of her unseen feet,

Which only the angels hear,

May have broken the woof of my tent's thin roof,
