Well I found you in the twilit garden,

Laid a lover's hand upon your shoulder,

And we both were made aware of loving

Past the reach of reason to unravel,

Or the much desiring heart to follow. 5

And the gurgle of soft-running water,

Well contented with the spacious starlight,

The cool wind's touch and the deep blue distance,

Till the dawn came in with golden sandals. 10
