a moment




by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861-1907)

A Moment

The clouds had made a crimson crown
     Above the mountains high.
The stormy sun was going down
     In a stormy sky.

Why did you let your eyes so rest on me,
      And hold your breath between?
In all the ages this can never be
      As if it had not been.
