Figure descriptions
Illustrated page divided into three sections, each depicting a separate scene. In
the first section, in the top-left corner, a
cottage with a waterwheel appears within a dark, medium-weight circular border. The
cottage has a thatched roof and is surrounded by
bushes and trees. In the second section, at the center, there is a moonlit scene of
a church. There are trees, bushes, and other
buildings around the church. A path leads to the church and runs alongside a body
of water, which dominates the foreground. The path
connects to a small bridge. There is an empty bow boat on the water. This scene is
contained within a dark, thin rectangular border
which is designed to look like a sheet of paper: the top-left and bottom-right corners
are folded over. The entire scene is set at a
diagonal angle, with the right corners higher up the periodical page than the left
corners. It is superimposed over the bottom edge
of the aforementioned circular border. In the third section, which occupies the full
page and extends behind the two previously
described sections, a large boat sails the sea. The sun is low on the horizon and
there are clouds in the sky. This scene is
contained within a dark, thin border. The poem text is let in to a rectangular blank
space in the top-right corner of the
illustration. It is superimposed over the top-right corner of the central illustration.
