noon
My voice burst into song so spontaneously that it seemed involuntarily . `` Not a sound But , echoing in me , Vibrates all around With a blind delight , Till it breaks on Thee , Queen of Night ! Every tree , O'ershadowing with gloom , Seems to cover thee Secret , dark , love-still 'd , In a holy room Silence-filled . `` Let no moon Creep up the heaven to-night ; I in darksome noon Walking hopefully , Seek my shrouded light -- Grope for thee ! `` Darker grow The borders of the dark ! Through the branches glow , From the roof above , Star and diamond-sparks Light for love . '' Scarcely had the last sounds floated away from the hearing of my own ears , when I heard instead a low delicious laugh near me .
