First lines
We have bit no forbidden apple, / Eve and I, / Yet the splashes of day and night / Falling round us no longer dapple / The same Eden with purple and white.
This is our own still valley / Our Eden, our home, / But day shows it vivid with feeling / And the pallor of night does not tally / With dark sleep that once covered its ceiling.
