XIV

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of The Miller's Daughter

In rambling on the eastern wold,

When thro' the showery April nights

Their hueless crescent glimmered cold,

From all the other village-lights

I knew your taper far away.

My heart was full of trembling hope.

Down from the wold I came and lay

Upon the dewyswarded slope.
