The short night, broken, in the shallows,
a crescent moon.
The Frost performs its secret ministry,
Unhelped by any wind. The owlet's cry
Came loud-and hark, again! loud as
before.
The inmates of my cottage, all at rest,
Have left me to that solitude, which suits
Abstruser musings: save that at my side
My cradled infant slumbers peacefulay.
'Tis calm indeed! so calm, that it disturbs
And vexes meditation with its strange
And extreme silentness.
