Tips

Missing Words

The garden lay about us twain 
Hoarding its up for the rain; 
We clung together, you I, 
And heard the minutes hurrying by. 
against heart beat heavily, 
Your eyes through twilight for mine, 
My lips drank love from yours wine. 

Our lips together met and clung — 
Our love stood beautiful and young 
And watched while the minutes spun 
Webs of delight not undone, 
While our lips, kissing, would not part; 
While all the night beat like a heart 
of fire than any sun; 
And one great and only one 
Above us for a lantern hung. 

My hand in yours so closely lay, 
felt your pulse beat like my own; 
I your breath, and in my brain 
The seed your own thought was sown. 
The garden walls far away,
The scent of flowering mint was blown 
About us in the gloaming gray, 
About us our lips clung close 
As flash and peal, bee and rose. 

But flash and peal and were not. 
Twilight and scent for us begot 
Delicate dreams, and for our sake 
No bat, buzzing chafer came 
The happy silences to break.
kissed, and to the lighted room 
Came, carrying us like perfume 
As lovely as the rose's name, 
The memory of the twilight sweet 
In eyes and laggard feet.
