I

Thomas Hardy

When moiling seems at cease In the vague void of night-time, And heaven's wide roomage stormless Between the dusk and light-time,

And fear at last is formless, We call the allurement Peace. Peace, this hid riot, Change, This revel of quick-cued mumming,

This never truly being, This evermore becoming, This spinner's wheel onfleeing Outside perception's range.
