Moonlight, and shadows of leaves On the white wall above me -- The shadows gallop and swirl without sound. Blue moonlight, brief shadows of leaves, And once more I see you, Saying aloud, like a dreamer, "You love me, You love me!" Moonlight . . . down there in the garden I know, without seeing, The somnolent fountain is filled with blue fire. I close my eyes, I pursue you Through dream's fainter moonlight, Ghostlike, with shadows of dead leaves, silently Fleeing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LITTLE BLACK-EYED REBEL by WILLIAM MCKENDREE CARLETON MACDONALD'S RAID - A.D. 1780 by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE TRIUMPH OF TIME by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE FRAGMENTS INTENDED FOR DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: MURDERER'S HAUNTED COUCH by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES SHADOWS OF CRIME by LEVI BISHOP JERUSALEM; THE EMANATION OF THE GIANT ALBION: CHAPTER 3 by WILLIAM BLAKE |
