Well I found you in the twilit garden, / Laid a lover's hand upon your shoulder, / And we both were made aware of loving / Past the reach of reason to unravel, / Or the much desiring heart to follow.

There we heard the breath among the grasses / And the gurgle of soft-running water, / Well contented with the spacious starlight, / The cool wind's touch and the deep blue distance, / Till the dawn came in with golden sandals.
