driving home at dusk
golden moon shines
through drifting clouds
light changes
moving into darkness.

Here’s what a website called Quotery says about the Wordsworth quotation, which is from his long philosophical poem “The Excursion” that was published in 1814:
“In these lines Wordsworth turns an ordinary seasonal phenomenon—the wind moving through late-year woods—into a kind of natural music. The adjective ‘wild’ suggests both untamed energy and emotional intensity, while ‘faded woods’ evokes autumn’s decline and the approach of winter. The contrast implies that even as the landscape loses color and vitality, it gains a different beauty: a stark, stirring soundscape. The couplet exemplifies Wordsworth’s Romantic habit of finding aesthetic and spiritual significance in commonplace nature, and of using sensory detail (here, sound) to register time, transience, and the mind’s responsiveness to the natural world.”
