The night has made a nosegay of the stars
Bound with straying fragrance from the south:
Of wax-white jasmine, and of that dark Rose –
That sombre Rose – to whom the fountains sing –
(She seems so like a wild heart listening)…
Slowly the radiant flowers – one by one –
Are freed, and float in silence out of sight…
Across the far pavilion of the moon
A shadow passes – in swift ordered flight
Wild geese, miles high, whose echoed trumpet call
Soars eastward – sweeping to the port of dawn.
Trying to identify the title and author of a poem which begins 'The night has made a nosegay of the stars'
Emily Dickenson? Sounds like her style of poetry.
