William Wordsworth - The Shepherd, Looking Eastward, Softly SaidWilliam Wordsworth - The Shepherd, Looking Eastward, Softly Said
Work rating: Low


The Shepherd, looking eastward, softly said "Bright is thy veil, O Moon, as thou art bright!" Forthwith, that little cloud, in ether spread And penetrated all with tender light, She cast away, and showed her fulgent head Uncovered; dazzling the Beholder`s sight As if to vindicate her beauty`s right Her beauty thoughtlessly disparaged. Meanwhile that veil, removed or thrown aside, Went floating from her, darkening as it went; And a huge mass, to bury or to hide, Approached this glory of the firmament; Who meekly yields, and is obscured—content With one calm triumph of a modest pride.
