    At night, to his own dark fancies a prey,
    He lies like a hedgehog rolled up the wrong way,
    Tormenting himself with his prickles.

Of the snow-shining mountains--Beautiful!
I linger yet with Nature, for the night
Hath been to me a more familiar face
Than that of man; and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness
I learn'd the language of another world.

Thrills with the sense of the triumphing night,--
Night with train of stars
And her great gift of sleep.
