Earth, left silent by the wind of night, seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height

The line "Earth, left silent by the wind of night, seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height" evokes a sense of stillness and quietness that is characteristic of William Morris's poetic style. Morris was a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century, and his poetry often reflects his deep connection to nature and his concern for the environment.
