In coats of red,
Rode their horses
Up to bed.

Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest’s ferny floor.

That I kept my word,’ he said.

And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging hoofs were gone.

This northern sky;
Soldiers, this solitude
Through which we go
Is I.

In a twilight dim with rose,
Wrinkled with age, and drenched with dew,
Old Nod, the shepherd, goes.

Walks the night in her silver shoon.
‘Silver’ (1913)
