The yellow moon across the clouds That shiver in the sky; White, hurrying travellers, the clouds, And, white and aching cold on high, Stars in the sky. Whiter, along the frozen earth, The miracle of snow; Close covered as for sleep, the earth Lies, mutely slumbering below Its shroud of snow. Sleepless I wander in the night, And, wandering, watch for day; Earth sleeps, yet, high in heaven, the night Awakens, faint and far away, A phantom day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JUST & UNJUST by CHARLES SYNGE CHRISTOPHER BOWEN PUTTING IN THE SEED by ROBERT FROST THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 83.
