The earth is clad
For her bridal glad;
Her robe is white
As the spotless light;
O'er field and hill
Its folds are still.
From her aëry throne
The moon looks down,
Clothing with glory
The tree--tops hoary,
Which glittering are
Like purest spar.
A star or two
Diamond--blue
Through the space peers
Where the vapour clears,
And in long white masses
Silently passes.
The wind is awake,
And his voice doth shake
The frost from the trees;
Then by degrees
Swells with a louder sound,
Till it dies on the level ground.
