IN THE MOONLIGHT WILDERNESS





Encintured with a twine of leaves,

That leafy twine his only dress!

A lovely Boy was plucking fruits,

By moonlight, in a wilderness.



The moon was bright, the air was free,

And fruit and flowers together grew

On many a shrub and many a tree

And all put on a gentle hue,


Hanging in the shadowy air

Like a picture rich and rare.

It was a climate where, they say,

The night is more belov'd than day.


But who that beauteous Boy beguil'd,

That beauteous Boy, to linger here ?

Alone, by night, a little child,

In place so silent and so wild--

Has he no friend, no loving mother near ?





   Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
