The garden lay about us twain Hoarding its sweets up for the rain; We clung together, you and I, And heard the minutes hurrying by. Heart against heart beat heavily, Your eyes through twilight sought for mine, My lips drank love from yours like wine.
Our lips together met and clung — Our love stood beautiful and young And watched us while the minutes spun Webs of delight not yet undone, While our lips, kissing, would not part; While all the night beat like a heart Fuller of fire than any sun; And one great star and only one Above us for a lantern hung.
My hand in yours so closely lay, I felt your pulse beat like my own; I breathed your breath, and in my brain The seed of your own thought was sown. The garden walls seemed far away, The scent of flowering mint was blown About us in the gloaming gray, About us as our lips clung close As flash and peal, as bee and rose.
But flash and peal and cloud were not. Twilight and scent for us begot Delicate dreams, and for our sake No bat, or buzzing chafer came The happy silences to break. We kissed, and to the lighted room Came, carrying with us like perfume As lovely as the rose's name, The memory of the twilight sweet In shining eyes and laggard feet.
