¶Liedtext

Dim vales, and shadowy floods, And cloudy-looking woods, Whose forms we can't discover For the tears that drip all over Huge moons there wax and wane, Again, again, again, Every moment of the night, Forever changing places, And they put out the star-light With the breath from their pale faces. About twelve by the moon-dial One more filmy than the rest (A kind which, upon trial, They have found to be the best) Comes down, still down, and down With its centre on the crown Of a mountain's eminence, While its wide circumference In easy drapery falls Over hamlets, over halls, Wherever they may be, O'er the strange woods, o'er the sea, Over spirits on the wing, Over every drowsy thing, And buries them up quite In a labyrinth of light, And then, how deep!, O, deep! Is the passion of their sleep.
