Moonlight.


                                        The far moon maketh lovers wise
                                        In her pale beauty trembling down,
                                        Lending curved cheeks, dark lips, dark eyes,
                                        A strangeness not their own.
                                        And, though they shut their eyelids to kiss,
                                        In starless darkness peace to win.
                                        Even on that secret world from this
                                        Her twilight enters in.
                                                                              -Walter de la Mare.
