AmyLowell:LoonPoint

发布时间：2016-03-17 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Softly the water ripples

Against the canoes curving side,

Softly the birch trees rustle

Flinging over us branches wide.

Softly the moon glints and glistens

As the water takes and leaves,

Like golden ears of corn

Which fall from loose-bound sheaves,

Or like the snow-white petals

Which drop from an overblown rose,

When Summer ripens to Autumn

And the freighted year must close.

From the shore come the scents of a garden,

And between a gap in the trees

A proud white statue glimmers

In cold, disdainful ease.

The child of a southern people,

The thought of an alien race,

What does she in this pale, northern garden,

How reconcile it with her grace?

But the moon in her wayward beauty

Is ever and always the same,

As lovely as when upon Latmos

She watched till Endymion came.

Through the water the moon writes her legends

In light, on the smooth, wet sand;

They endure for a moment, and vanish,

And no one may understand.

All round us the secret of Nature

Is telling itself to our sight,

We may guess at her meaning but never

Can know the full mystery of night.

But her power of enchantment is on us,

We bow to the spell which she weaves,

Made up of the murmur of waves

And the manifold whisper of leaves.
