Summer Stillness poem – Aldous Huxley poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1963)

The stars are golden instants in the deep

    Flawless expanse of night: the moon is set:

    The river sleeps, entranced, a smooth cool sleep

    Seeming so motionless that I forget

    The hollow booming bridges, where it slides,

    Dark with the sad looks that it bears along,

    Towards a sea whose unreturning tides

    Ravish the sighted ships and the sailors’ song.
