With how sad steps O Moon thou climb'st the sky | B |
How silently and with how wan a face | C |
Where art thou Thou so often seen on high | B |
Running among the clouds a Wood nymph's race | C |
Unhappy Nuns whose common breath's a sigh | B |
Which they would stifle move at such a pace | C |
The northern Wind to call thee to the chase | C |
Must blow to night his bugle horn Had I | B |
The power of Merlin Goddess this should be | D |
And all the stars fast as the clouds were riven | E |
Should sally forth to keep thee company | D |
Hurrying and sparkling through the clear blue heaven | E |
But Cynthia should to thee the palm be given | E |
Queen both for beauty and for majesty | D |
William Wordsworth
