| In a September Night |
| | | F. Wyville Home (b. 1851) |
| |
| |
| THERE the moon leans out and blesses | |
| All the dreamy hills below: | |
| Here the willows wash their tresses | |
| Where the water-lilies blow | |
| In the stream that glideth slow. | 5 |
| |
| High in heaven, in serried ranges, | |
| Cloud-wreaths float through pallid light, | |
| Like a flock of swans that changes | |
| In the middle Autumn night | |
| North for South in ordered flight. | 10 |
| |
| What know ye, who hover yonder, | |
| More than I, of that veiled good | |
| Whither all things tend, I wonder, | |
| That ye follow the wind’s mood | |
| In such patient quietude? | 15 |
