The moonlight is without and I could lose	A
An hour to gaze though Taste and Splendour here	B
As in a lustrous fairy palace reign	C
Regardless of the lights that blaze within	D
I look upon the wide and silent sea	E
That in the shadowy moonbeam sleeps	F
How still	G
Nor heard to murmur or to move it lies	H
Shining in Fancy's eye like the soft gleam	I
The eve of pleasant yesterdays	J
The clouds	K
Have all sunk westward and the host of stars	L
Seem in their watches set as gazing on	M
While night's fair empress sole and beautiful	N
Holds her illustrious course through the mid heavens	O
Supreme the spectacle for such she looks	P
Of gazing worlds	Q
How different is the scene	R
That lies beneath this arched window's height	S
The town that murmured through the busy day	T
Is hushed the roofs one solemn breadth of shade	U
Veils but the towers and taper spires above	V
The pinnets and the gray embattled walls	W
And masts that throng around the southern pier	X
Shine all distinct in light and mark remote	Y
O'er yonder elms St Mary's modest fane	C
Oh if such views may please to me they shine	Z
How more attractive but few years have passed	A2
Since there I saw youth health and happiness	B2
All circling round an aged sire whose hairs	C2
Are now in peace gone down he was to me	E
A friend and almost with a father's smile	D2
Hung o'er my infant Muse The cheerful voice	E2
Of fellowship the song of harmony	E
And mirth and wit were there	F2
That scene is passed	A2
Cold death and separation have dissolved	G2
The evening circle of once happy friends	H2
So has it ever fared and so must fare	F2
With all I see the moonlight watery tract	I2
That shines far off beneath the forest shades	J2
What seems it but the mirror of that tide	K2
Which noiseless 'mid the changes of the world	L2
Holds its inevitable course the tide	K2
Of years departing to the distant eye	M2
Still seeming motionless though hurrying on	M
From morn till midnight bearing as it flows	N2
The sails of pleasurable barks These gleam	I
To day to morrow other passing sails	O2
Catch the like sunshine of the vernal morn	P2
Our pleasant days are as the moon's brief light	S
On the pale ripple passing as it shines	Q2
But shall the pensive bard for this lament	R2
Who knows how transitory are all worlds	Q
Before His eye who made them	S2
Cease the strain	C
And welcome still the social intercourse	T2
That soothes the world's loud jarring till the hour	U2
When universal darkness wrapping all	V2
This nether scene a light from heaven shall stream	I
Through clouds dividing and a voice be heard	W2
Here only pure and lasting bliss is found	X2
