A Winter Night
#1
A Winter Night

How calm, how solemn, how sublime the scene!
The moon in full-orbed glory sails above,
And stars in myriads around her move,
Each looking down with watchful eye serene

On earth, which, in a snow shroud arrayed,
And still, as if in death’s embrance ´t were laid,
Saddens the spirit with its corpse-like mien;
Yet doth it charm the eye, - its gaze still hold;

Just as the face of one we loved, when cold
And pale and lovely e’en in death #t is seen,
Will fix the mourner’s eye, though trembling fears

Fill all his heart, and thickly fall his tears.
O, I could watch, till morn should change the sight,
This cold, this beautiful, this mournful winter night!
