Part of Communion with Nature

Perhaps it may be that my mind is wrought

To a fever by the moonbeam that hangs o'er.

But I will half believe that wild light fraught

With more of sovereignty than ancient lore

Hath ever told—or is it of a thought

The unembodied essence, and no more,

That with a quickening spell doth o'er us pass

As dew of the night-time o'er the summer grass?
