Lake Michigan at Night

Scharmel Iris

THE LAZY ships all lazy lie,

Quiet against the quiet sky.

The little silver ship-lights make

A play of wonder on the lake.

A mist of smoke that blurs the air

Is washed with silver everywhere;

The silver moon, a silvering rose,

Upon the silvered water glows.

Each window on the avenue

Hangs out a star for me and you.

The silvery winds of dusk awake

A flute of silver on the lake.
