The Moon Is Sinking⁠—The Tempestuous Weather

by Robert Louis Stevenson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/robert-louis-stevenson_poetry

The moon is sinking⁠—the tempestuous weather Grows worse, the squalls disputing our advance; And as the feet fall well and true together In the last moonlight, see! the standards glance!
One hour, one moment, and that light forever. Quite so. Jes’ so.
