Now the east wind diseases the infirm, 5

And I must crouch in comers from rough weather;

Sometimes a winter sunset is a charm—

When the fired clouds, compacted, blaze together,

And the large sun dips red behind the hills.

I, from my window, can behold this pleasure; 10

And the eternal moon, what time she fills

Her orb with argent, treading a soft measure,

With queenly motions of a bridal mood,

Through the white spaces of infinitude.
