The Moonflower Opens to the Moth + 

The moonflower opens to the moth, + 

The mist crawls in from sea; + 

A great white bird, a snowy owl, + 

Slips from the alder tree. + 

Whiter the flowers, love, you hold, + 

Than the white mist on the sea; + 

Have you no brighter tropic flowers + 

With scarlet life, for me? + 
