They feared no eyes nor ears on that lone beach;

They felt no terrors from the night; they were

All in all to each other: though their speech

Was broken words, they thought a language there⁠—

And all the burning tongues the Passions teach

Found in one sigh the best interpreter

Of Nature’s oracle⁠—first love⁠—that all

Which Eve has left her daughters since her fall.
