John Bartlett
(18201905).
Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.
1919.
NUMBER:
7996
AUTHOR:
Robert Seymour Bridges
(18441930)
QUOTATION:
Behind the western bars
The shrouded day retreats,
And unperceived the stars
Steal to their sovran seats.
And whiter grows the foam,
The small moon lightens more;
And as I turn me home,
My shadow walks before.
ATTRIBUTION:
The Clouds have left the Sky.
