Description
The chestnuts on the turf had shed their flowering candles, white and red; there darkling stood a silent elm and pale beneath its shadow-helm there glimmered faint the umbels thick of hemlocks like a mist, and quick the moths on pallid wings of white with tiny eyes of fiery light were fluttering softly, and the voles crept out to listen from their holes; the little owls were hushed and still; the moon was yet behind the hill. Her arms like ivory were gleaming, her long hair like a cloud was streaming, her feet a-twinkle wandered roaming through misty mazes in the gloaming; and glowworms shimmered round her feet, while moths in moving garland fleet above her head went wavering wan - all this the moon now looked upon, uprisen slow, and round, and white above the branches of the night.
