    The moon has set
    In a bank of jet
    That fringes the Western sky,
    The pleiads seven
    Have sunk from heaven
    And the midnight hurries by;
    My hopes are flown
    And, alas! alone
    On my weary couch I lie.

Heaven's ebon vault,
Studded with stars unutterably bright,
Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls,
Seems like a canopy which love has spread
To curtain her sleeping world.

I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth,
forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me
a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look
you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof
fretted with golden fire--why, it appeareth nothing to me but a
foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.

So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,
That God alone read more

So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,
That God alone was to be seen in Heaven.
