The
Dread Voyage Poems
by
William Wilfred Campbell
|
MOONLIGHT
|
|
THE
moonlight on this beach lies pallidly
And on the waters
in a white track dreams
Where ripples
pulsate under misty beams.
Far out the night lifts vast and shadowy,
Fear-haunted, where the dim, white headlands lie,
|
5 |
And
chants the lake the dark’s wild frighted themes
In far-heard
thunders. Here the silence teems
With frensy’s sweet and frosted phantasy.
This is the realm of lovers, and across
This silvery
web two shadows come and go.
|
10 |
Outside the
world sleeps with its freight of woe,
Its human load of haggard pain and loss;
But these two
dream, where elfin torches glow
And wind-stirred boughs their snowy foliage toss.
