The moon sets; crows caw below frosty skies.
 Boats, moored to maples -- lamps glow like cat eyes.
 Cold Mountain Temple, outside Gusu's bounds:
 The midnight bell cuts off soft water sounds.

“I never saw a moor” (1052) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

I never saw a moor;
 I never saw the sea,
 Yet know I how the heather looks
  And what a billow be.

I never spoke with God,
 Nor visited in heaven.
 Yet certain am I of the spot
 As if the checks were given.
