778 Before Sunrise in Winter

A PURPLE cloud hangs half-way down;

Sky, yellow gold below;

The naked trees, beyond the town,

Like masts against it show,—

Bare masts and spars of our earth-ship,

With shining snow-sails furled;

And through the sea of space we slip,

That flows all round the world.
