LXXXII


Over the roofs the honey-coloured moon,
  1
With purple shadows on the silver grass,

And the warm south wind on the curving sea,
  3
While we two, lovers past all turmoil now,

Watch from the window the white sails come in,
  5
Bearing what unknown ventures safe to port!

So falls the hour of twilight and of love
  7
With wizardry to loose the hearts of men,

And there is nothing more in this great world
  9
Than thou and I and the blue dome of dusk.
