    the moon rising solemnly over the crest
        of the hills to the east of my station
    displayed her broad disk to the darkening west
        like a visible new creation.

    and i thought of a joke and i laughed till i cried
        of an idle young woman who tarried
    about a church-door for a look at the bride,
        although 'twas herself that was married.

    to poets all nature is pregnant with grand
        ideas -- with thought and emotion.
    i pity the dunces who don't understand
        the speech of earth, heaven and ocean.
                                                       stromboli smith
