The Starlight Night
- Look at the stars!
- look, look up at the skies!
- O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
- The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
- Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!
- The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
- Wind-beat whitebeam!
- Airy abeles set on a flare!
- Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!
- Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.
- Buy then! bid then! — What? —
- Prayer, patience, alms, vows.
- Look, look: a May-mess,
- like on orchard boughs!
- Look! March-bloom,
- like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
- These are indeed the barn; withindoors house
- The shocks.
- This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
- Christ home,
- Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
