Nature
Across the Fog the Moon Lies Fair
From Songs of the Common Day (1893)
Nature
Across the fog the moon lies fair.
Transfused with ghostly amethyst,
O white Night, charm to wonderment
The cattle in the mist!
Thy touch, O grave Mysteriarch,
Makes dull, familiar things divine.
O grant of thy revealing gift
Be some small portion mine!
Make thou my vision sane and clear,
That I may see what beauty clings
In common forms, and find the soul
Of unregarded things!
