English poem
“How Beautiful The Queen Of Night, On High”
Composed 1846.--Published 1850
One of the “Miscellaneous Poems.”--ED.
How beautiful the Queen of Night, on high Her way pursuing among scattered clouds, Where, ever and anon, her head she shrouds Hidden from view in dense obscurity. But look, and to the watchful eye A brightening edge will indicate that soon We shall behold the struggling Moon Break forth,--again to walk the clear blue sky.
