That held a solemn pæan to the moon.
A few devotional fair clouds were soon
Breath’d o’er the living countenance of Heaven,
And under the great galaxies were driven
Of stars that group’d together, and they went
Like voyagers along the firmament,
And grew to silver in the blessed light
Of the moon alchymist. It was not night,
Not the dark deathly shadow, that falls o’er
The eye-lid like a curse, but far before
