Moonrise
Moonrise
Once we saw the late moon rise dimly, dimly. Midnight had been dark and still. The cup of love poured warmly, richly out, Began to flood again, fill. | |
And brimmed when that pale lovely light Found out the beauty of your face, And overflowed when your warm hands reached up, At that high moment, in that sacred place. | |
