WINTER MOONLIGHTThe silence of the silver nightLies visibly upon the pines;In marble flame the moon declinesWhere spectral mountains dream in light.And pale as with eternal sleep,The enchanted valleys, far and strange,Extend forever without changeBeneath the veiling splendours deep.Carven of steel or fretted stone,One stark and leafless autumn treeWith shadows made of ebony,Leans on the moon-ward field alone.

Where spectral mountains dream in light.

The enchanted valleys, far and strange,
Extend forever without change
Beneath the veiling splendours deep.
