Patchwork poetry

In Competition No. 2763 you were invited to submit a poem that is
composed of lines taken from well-known poems, with no more than one line taken
from any single poem.

This was a brute of a challenge, but it
did pull in the crowds. Semi-nonsense was fine as long as it was amusing but I
was especially impressed by those who managed to knit together something that
made sense.

Then felt I like some watcher of the skies,
With dream and thought and feeling interwound.
With thoughtful pace, and sad, majestic eyes,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

I have been one acquainted with the night,
But you are mobile as the veering air.
