Full oft they met, as dawn and twilight meet

In northern climes; she full of growing day

As he of darkness, which before her feet

Shrank gradual, and faded quite away,

Soon to return; for power had made love sweet

To him, and when his will had gained full sway,

The taste began to pall; for never power

Can sate the hungry soul beyond an hour. 320
