'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight, āàAll soft, and still, and fair; The silent time of midnight āàShines sweetly everywhere. But most where trees are sending āàTheir breezy boughs on high, Or stooping low are lending āàA shelter from the sky. And there in those wild bowers āàA lovely form is laid, Green grass and dew-steeped flowers āàWave gently round her head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A PROPOSED TRIP SOUTH by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS SHELLEY'S SKYLARK by THOMAS HARDY ELEGIAC SONNET: 4.
