Charlotte Smith - Sonnet IV. To The Moon

2014-11-10 54 Dailymotion

QUEEN of the silver bow!--by thy pale beam, <br />Alone and pensive, I delight to stray, <br />And watch thy shadow trembling in the stream, <br />Or mark the floating clouds that cross thy way. <br />And while I gaze, thy mild and placid light <br />Sheds a soft calm upon my troubled breast; <br />And oft I think--fair planet of the night, <br />That in thy orb, the wretched may have rest: <br />The sufferers of the earth perhaps may go, <br />Released by death--to thy benignant sphere, <br />And the sad children of despair and woe <br />Forget in thee, their cup of sorrow here. <br />Oh! that I soon may reach thy world serene, <br />Poor wearied pilgrim--in this toiling scene!<br /><br />Charlotte Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-iv-to-the-moon/
