Oh Night of Love

Oh night of love, your rapt ecstatic hours

Were mine, the languor of their pale perfume

Pervades me, kisses in a fountain-fire,

Surround me⁠—fetter and consume.

Oh night of love, your groves of strange content

Project a thralldom over coming days;

Exalted, derelict, and blind I wend

Unmindfully along Life’s misty ways.
