THE moon o'er the hills to-night! A song where the spring-leaves blow, The setting of Youth's delight. Pale lamps of our learning's height! What is it shames you so? The moon o'er the hills to-night! O, the wine is sparkling bright With its subtle, sunshine glow — The setting of Youth's delight. The halls are ivory white, The river mirrors below, The moon o'er the hills to-night. Our hearts were fashioned aright For the comradeship we know, The setting of Youth's delight. Come! We shall be happy in spite That all shall fleetingly go — The moon o'er the hills to-night, The setting of Youth's delight! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SQUIRE BOWLING GREEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS BERTHA IN THE LANE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING TO A FAT LADY SEEN FROM THE TRAIN by FRANCES CROFTS DARWIN CORNFORD GULF-WEED by CORNELIUS GEORGE FENNER A TERRIBLE INFANT by FREDERICK LOCKER-LAMPSON A MOTHER'S LOVE by JAMES MONTGOMERY THE COMMON LOT by JAMES MONTGOMERY |
