Arthur Symons - Stratford-On-AvonArthur Symons - Stratford-On-Avon
Work rating: Low


Bright leaves and the pale grass turn grey Now, sudden as a thought, one swan Moves on the water and is gone; The broad and liberal flood of day Ebbs to thin twilight, and night soon Out of the wells of dark fills up The valley like a brimming cup With silver waters of the moon. This is the ardent hour of peace; The Avon like a mirror lies Under the pale November skies; The shaken moon and the Still trees Trouble the water not a whit. And, secret as a hidden word, One note is spoken by one bird As if the water answered it.
