The Moonlight So White And So Still by Meg Lewer

Exploring Victorias’ high country majesty, with its deep gorges, mountain ranges and hidden rivers in search of that elusive rainbow trout.

“And they shook their sweetness out in their sleep,
On the brink of that beautiful stream,
But it wandered along with a wearisome song
Like a lover that walks in a dream :
So the roses blew
When the winds went through,
In the moonlight so white and so still ;
But the river it beat
All night at the feet
Of a cold and flinty hill —
Of a hard and lonely hill !

I said, “We have often showered our loves
Upon something as dry as the dust ;
And the faith that is crossed, and the hearts that are lost —
Oh ! how can we wittingly trust :
Like the stream which flows,
And wails as it goes,
Through the moonlight so white and so still,
To beat and to beat,
All night at the feet
Of a cold and flinty hill —
Of a hard and senseless hill ?

“River, I stay where the sweet roses blow,
And drink of their pleasant perfumes !
Oh, why do you moan, in this wide world alone,
When so much affection here blooms ?
The winds wax faint,
And the Moon like a Saint
Glides over the waters so white and so still ;
But you hear me and beat
All night at the feet
Of that cold and flinty hill —
Of that hard and lonely hill !”
Henry Kendall 1959
