I. One night was full of rapture and delight -- / Of reunited arms and swooning kisses, / And all the unnamed and unnumbered blisses / Which fond souls find in love of love at night.
Heart beat with heart, and each clung into each / With twining arms that did but loose their hold / To cling still closer; and fond glances told / These truths for which there is no uttered speech.
