Moonrise in the Rockies
by Ella Higginson (1861-1940) |
 |
|
THE TREMBLING train clings to the leaning wall
Of
solid stone; a thousand feet below
Sinks a black gulf;
the sky hangs like a pall
Upon the peaks of everlasting
snow.
Then of a sudden springs a rim of light,
Curved like a silver sickle. High and higher�
Till the
full moon burns on the breast of night,
And a million
firs stand tipped with lucent fire |
