When now the night doth summon all to sleep?

Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returns unto his love at night.”

Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
