Interval + 

Gone the wild day: + 

A wilder night + 

Coming makes way + 

For brief twilight. + 

Where the firm soaked road + 

Mounts and is lost + 

In the high beech-wood + 

It shines almost. + 

The beeches keep + 

A stormy rest, + 

Breathing deep + 

Of wind from the west. + 

The wood is black, + 

With a misty steam. + 

Above, the cloud pack + 

Breaks for one gleam. + 

But the woodman’s cot + 

By the ivied trees + 

Awakens not + 

To light or breeze. + 

It smokes aloft + 

Unwavering: + 

It hunches soft + 

Under storm’s wing. + 

It has no care + 

For gleam or gloom: + 

It stays there + 

While I shall roam, + 

Die, and forget + 

The hill of trees, + 

The gleam, the wet, + 

This roaring peace. + 
