The Full Moon Grinning On The Black Mire at Midnight

Amid blackest light and stillest wind
Between the dells and mountaintops
Towards a vale roads dare not wind
Where gathers water like a pot
And gathers there the scent of rot

Amid the drowning ghosts of giants,
Where the grinning moon has shone
There the site of ancient rites
Where stands a monument of stone
There lies a pile of human bone
