On Persian Hills

On Persian hills the Moon lights shadowed roses
Still as stone walls; their pale dream-swept faces
Hang in soft clusters weary and dusty grey.

A lattice lies wide open on those hills;
Who looks upon that carven soundless scene—
The Tree, the Peacock and the shining Moon?

It is jet lark that small high window square;
The shadowed roses dream, the Moon is still;
Without a sound the Peacock now has flown.
