Half-dreaming, sleeping fitfully,
I saw above the ice-tipped sea
a copper moon that seemed to be ....
Floating in the velvet dark
of a winter harsh and stark,
surrounded by the starlight spark.
And it was real, yet I was dreaming,
in a warm cocoon, yet seeming
joined with winter moonlight beaming
Down upon the restless sea,
a vast expanse that seemed to be
part of the moonlight and of me.
Was it a dream, or in some way
did I briefly, who can say,
at the border of the day
Glance other reality,
see what I wasn't meant to see?
A deeper sleep came over me.
And I awoke to conscious thought,
so different from the dream, moon-wrought,
and wondered what the night had brought.
