Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log.
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by.
With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Walter de la Mare

ଛାୟାଯୁକ୍ତ ପର ଦେହ ଉଙ୍କିମାରେ ଧବଳ ହିଆରେ
କପୋତଟି ଶୋଇ ରହେ ଧବଳ ପର-ପରଦାର ତଳେ;

ଅମଳ ବେଳର ମୂଷା ଧାଇଁଯାଏ ଦ୍ରୁତ ପଦଚାଳି
