house, a naked moor,
A shivering pool before the door, A garden bare of flowers and fruit
And poplars at the garden foot:
Such is the place that I live in, Bleak without and bare within.

Yet shall your ragged moor receive
The incomparable pomp of eve, And the cold glories of dawn
Behind your shivering trees be drawn; And when the wind from place to place
Doth the unmoored cloud-galleons chase,
Your garden gloom and gleam again,
With leaping sun, with glancing rain. Here shall the wizard moon ascend
The heavens, in the crimson end Of day's declining splendour; here
The army of the stars appear.
The neighbor hollows dry or wet, Spring shall with tender flowers beset;
And oft the morning muser see
Larks rising from the broomy lea, And every fairy wheel and thread
Of cobweb dew-bediamonded. When daisies go, shall winter time
Silver the simple grass with rime; GirlsShoes

Autumnal frosts enchant the pool
And make the cart-ruts beautiful;
And when snow-bright the moor expands, How shall your children clap their hands!
To make this earth our hermitage,
A cheerful and a changeful page,
God's bright and intricate device Of days and seasons doth suffice.
the wide and starry sky,
Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
