Title:     'Twas Not A Mist, Nor Was It Quite A Cloud
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

 
'Twas not a mist, nor was it quite a cloud,
  But it pass'd smoothly on towards the sea--
  Smoothly and lightly between Earth and Heaven:
                           So, thin a cloud,
  It scarce bedimm'd the star that shone behind it:
                           And Hesper now
  Paus'd on the welkin blue, and cloudless brink,
  A golden circlet! while the Star of Jove--
  That other lovely star--high o'er my head
  Shone whitely in the centre of his Haze
                       . . . one black-blue cloud
  Stretch'd, like the heaven, o'er all the cope of Heaven.

[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: 'twas Not A Mist, Nor Was It Quite A Cloud
