At night the wide and level stretch of wold,
\nWhich at high noon had basked in quiet gold,
\nFar as the eye could see was ghostly white;
\nDark was the night save for the snow\u2019s weird light.<\/p>\n

I drew the shades far down, crept into bed;
\nHearing the cold wind moaning overhead
\nThrough the sad pines, my soul, catching its pain,
\nWent sorrowing with it across the plain.<\/p>\n

At dawn, behold! the pall of night was gone,
\nSave where a few shrubs melancholy, lone,
\nDetained a fragile shadow. Golden-lipped
\nThe laughing grasses heaven\u2019s sweet wine sipped.<\/p>\n

The sun rose smiling o\u2019er the river\u2019s breast,
\nAnd my soul, by his happy spirit blest,
\nSoared like a bird to greet him in the sky,
\nAnd drew out of his heart Eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":251,"menu_order":30,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[48],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-422","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry","chapter-type-numberless"],"part":346,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":423,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/422\/revisions\/423"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/346"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/422\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=422"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=422"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/claudemckay\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
