”A Thought”
Slowly, silently, now the moon walks th<^ ^
night in her silver sheen;
This way, and that, she peers* and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees; One by
one the casements catch
Her 'earns beneath the silvery thatch;
pouched in his kennel, like a log, With
paws of silver sleeps the dog5 From
their shadowy cat; the white beasts peep
Of c’.rvcs in a silver feathered sleep;
I harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws and a silver eye;
And m avoirs? fish in the water gleam,
Ay silver roods in a silver stream.
