The Fall of the Leaf | ||
XVI.
The moon, now rising, fringed the speckled cloud,That on the summit of Vancenza bow'd.
No guide had she;—no venerable man,
Whose age seem'd measur'd long ere hers began;
Whose sole employ might be, with care intent,
To guide her footsteps wheresoe'er she went!
61
To rocks and echoing woods, she made her tearless moan.
As on she strays, unheeding where,
A prey to all the storms of care,
The wandering moon, through fleeces, gave
A dubious light to Mincio's wave;
Which rushing, foaming, wildly on,
Warn'd the lone stranger to be gone:
While chimes from distant convent's tower,
Proclaim'd it midnight's solemn hour.
