Lines from a Discarded Poem

by George Crabbe 1754–1832

From Miscellaneous Verses

Social Commentaries

One calm, cold evening, when the moon was high,
And rode sublime within the cloudy sky,
She sat within her hut, nor seem'd to feel
Or cold, or want, but turn'd her idle wheel;
And with sad song its melancholy tone
Mix'd--all unconscious that she dwelt alone.
