“At Night” by Amy Lowell (1874‐1925)
The wind is singing through the
trees to‐night,
A deep‐voiced song of rushing cadences
And crashing intervals.
No summer breeze
Is this, though hot July is at its height,
Gone is her gentler music; with delight
She listens to this booming like the seas,
These elemental, loud necessities
Which call to her to answer their swift might.
Above the tossing trees shines down a star,
Quietly bright; this wild, tumultuous joy
Quickens nor dims its splendour.
And my mind,
O Star! Is filled with your white light,
from far,
So suffer me this one night to enjoy
The freedom of the onward sweeping wind.
