Moonrise

Bliss Carman

At the end of the road through the wood I see the great moon rise. The fields are flooded with shine, And my soul with surmise.

What if that mystic orb With her shadowy beams, Should be the revealer at last Of my darkest dreams!

What if this tender fire In my heart's deep hold Should be wiser than all the lore Of the sages of old!
