And view the worlds and systems moving round

Become so filled with peace and perfect trust

That unto them life, death, grief, care and fear

Are almost naught. So, I, a long time past

Having passed my time in watching night by night

The stare move in their orbits; and my days

In making out their past and future course

One August night, while that the quiet moon

Flooded tree and bush, and vale and hill-top

Stream, and bank and spire and roof with light
