I have seen all that garden change its light—

Sunlight to moonlight. I can see the flowers

Close their bright eyes; and into those dim bowers,

Lo, like a whispered word,

Comes sleep; and every bird,

That with uplifted throat now seems to make

Those tree-tops shake,

Stops with a will to let full silence flow.

All, all looks still, ... and yet, I know

Something, with power to break
