Siegfried Sassoon - A Poplar And The Moon
Work rating: Medium

There stood a Poplar, tall and straight;   
The fair, round Moon, uprisen late,   
Made the long shadow on the grass   
A ghostly bridge ’twixt heaven and me.   
But May, with slumbrous nights, must pass;
And blustering winds will strip the tree.   
And I’ve no magic to express   
The moment of that loveliness;   
So from these words you’ll never guess   
The stars and lilies I could see.
