That light, he saw the stars. For sky was there,

And smoother grass, white flowered—a forest clearing

Set in seven miles of forest, secreter

Than valleys in the tops of clouds, more fair

Than greenery under snow or desert water

Or the white peace descending after slaughter.

As some who have been wounded beyond healing

Wake, or half wake, once only and so bless

Far off the lamplight travelling on the ceiling.
