I saw the moon, so broad and bright, Sailing high on a frosty night! And the air shone silvery between The pearly queen, and the silver queen! And here a white, and there a white Cloud-mist swam in a mist of light! And, all encrusted in the sky, High, and higher, and yet more high, Was gold and gold that glimmered through The hollow vault, the vault of blue: And then I knew -- that God was good, And the world was fair! And, where I stood, I bent the knee, and bent the head; And said my prayers, and went to bed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEN BOLT by THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH TO CERTAIN POETS by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER THE LIGHT OF STARS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW NATURAL HISTORY by MOTHER GOOSE WRITTEN IN IRELAND by MARY (CUMBERLAND) ALCOCK A SONNET.
