Amy Lowell,
Drinking Alone in the Moonlight
“ Oh, be joyful! One must make the most of Spring. I sing--the moon walks forward rhythmically; I dance, and my shadow shatters and becomes confused. In my waking moments we are happily blended. When I am drunk, we are divided from one another and scattered. For a long time I shall be obligated to wander without intention. But we will keep our appointment by the far-off Cloudy River. Notes From Fir-flower Tablets (Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1921) . This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States before 1923. "Cloudy River:" the Milky Way. ”
