Archibald Lampman - MidnightArchibald Lampman - Midnight
Work rating: Low


  From where I sit, I see the stars,     And down the chilly floor   The moon between the frozen bars     Is glimmering dim and hoar.   Without in many a peakèd mound     The glinting snowdrifts lie;   There is no voice or living sound;     The embers slowly die.   Yet some wild thing is in mine ear;     I hold my breath and hark;   Out of the depth I seem to hear     A crying in the dark;   No sound of man or wife or child,     No sound of beast that groans,   Or of the wind that whistles wild,     Or of the tree that moans:   I know not what it is I hear;     I bend my head and hark:   I cannot drive it from mine ear,     That crying in the dark.
