Nature
Keen winds of cloud and vaporous drift
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Nature
Keen winds of cloud and vaporous drift
Disrobe yon star, as ghosts that lift
A snowy curtain from its place,
To scan a pillow'd beauty's face.
They see her slumbering splendours lie
Bedded on blue unfathom'd sky.
And swoon for love and deep delight,
And stillness falls on all the night.
