Dinah Maria Mulock - Winter Moonlight
Work rating: Low

LOUD-VOICED night, with the wild wind blowing 
Many a tune; 
Stormy night, with white rain-clouds going 
Over the moon; 
Mystic night, that each minute changes, 
Now as blue as the mountain-ranges 
Far, far away; 
Now as black as a heart where strange is 
Joy, night or day. 

Wondrous moonlight, unlike all moonlights 
Since I was born; 
That on a hundred, bright as noonlights, 
Looks in slow scorn,-- 
Moonlights where the old vine-leaves quiver, 
Moonlights shining on vale and river, 
Where old paths lie; 
Moonlights--Night, blot their like forever 
Out of the sky! 

Hail, new moonlight, fierce, wild, and stormy, 
Wintry and bold! 
Hail, sharp wind, that can strengthen, warm me, 
If ne`er so cold! 
Not chance-driven this deluge rages, 
ONE doth pour out and ONE assuages; 
Under His hand 
Drifting, Noah-like, into the ages 
Shall touch land.
