Nocturne

Language: English

By dim, mauve and. dream-white bushes of lilac 
I pass to the cypress alley, 
and to the mere which lies breathless in the moonshine. 
A fish leaps, a momentary flame of fire. 
Then all is still again on the moonlit mere, 
where, breathless, it lies beyond the cypress alley. 
In the vague moonshine of the cypress alley 
I pass again, a silent shadow, 
by the dim, mauve and dream-white bushes of lilac.
