Floats in the pearly dusk of spring,

And soon we... (Read full poem)

And cloudy-looking woods,
Whose forms we can't discover
For the tears that drip all over!

And they put... (Read full poem)

Here on the pale beach, in the darkness;
With the full moon just to rise;

Or sifts the lazy whiteness through her hand.

Low falls the... (Read full poem)

The Moon's the North Wind's cooky.
He bites it, day by day,
Until there's but a rim of scraps
That crumble all away.

And bakes a crisp new moon that . . . greedy

Streel over the... (Read full poem)
