MOONGLADEMoonglade upon the waters whitely lying;Though the wind, shouting from the western verge,Herdeth the huddled cloud-rack, flying—flying—Glory still re-emergent, rift-descrying,Spanneth the somber surge.Moonglade, O Moonglade, heavenly calm and still,Throned on the tossing manes unbroke to thill,I know, beholding thee,The storm will pass, and night upon the sea!Moonglade the dark lanes of the forest keeping,Soundless and silent, hearken as ye list;Lakes of bejewelled vapor lowly sleeping,And the long grasses from the surface peepingLevelled of silver mist.Moonglade, O Moonglade, that your Fates fulfil,In your black forest-prison sweetly still,I know, beholding thee,Lights of the lost world, Faith and Purity!Moonglade, empearled of flame unearthly, lyingOver the crystal plains of snow and light,While the lost wind, of naked cold a-crying,Shudders beneath the half-shut stars espyingDown from the steely night.Moonglade, O Moonglade, heavenly calm and still,Moulding to beauty bitterness and ill,I know, beholding thee,Yet is there strength, and truth and constancy!Moonglade, a pale and forthright splendor, deepingThe mountain shadows on the river-flow,Across the sullen flood’s resistless creeping—Across the years, the wreckage and the weeping,You stand, so let them go!Moonglade, O Moonglade, that my heart doth fill,Causeway to Avalon unchanging still,I know that pass by thee,The “bowery hollows, crowned with summer seaâ€!1914.M.

MOONGLADE
Moonglade upon the waters whitely lying;Though the wind, shouting from the western verge,Herdeth the huddled cloud-rack, flying—flying—Glory still re-emergent, rift-descrying,Spanneth the somber surge.Moonglade, O Moonglade, heavenly calm and still,Throned on the tossing manes unbroke to thill,I know, beholding thee,The storm will pass, and night upon the sea!
Moonglade the dark lanes of the forest keeping,Soundless and silent, hearken as ye list;Lakes of bejewelled vapor lowly sleeping,And the long grasses from the surface peepingLevelled of silver mist.Moonglade, O Moonglade, that your Fates fulfil,In your black forest-prison sweetly still,I know, beholding thee,Lights of the lost world, Faith and Purity!
Moonglade, empearled of flame unearthly, lyingOver the crystal plains of snow and light,While the lost wind, of naked cold a-crying,Shudders beneath the half-shut stars espyingDown from the steely night.Moonglade, O Moonglade, heavenly calm and still,Moulding to beauty bitterness and ill,I know, beholding thee,Yet is there strength, and truth and constancy!
Moonglade, a pale and forthright splendor, deepingThe mountain shadows on the river-flow,Across the sullen flood’s resistless creeping—Across the years, the wreckage and the weeping,You stand, so let them go!Moonglade, O Moonglade, that my heart doth fill,Causeway to Avalon unchanging still,I know that pass by thee,The “bowery hollows, crowned with summer seaâ€!
