The others were all around you,
1
Singing and dancing there,
The wonderful night I found you
With your forest eyes and hair,
Lonely as all things fair.
Then the room and the people faded
6
As you turned your eyes on me,
And the woods all leafy and shaded
Grew round us tree by tree,
Safe, with no eyes to see.
And we knew we had found each other
11
Yea! You and I and no other,
A-glitter like golden tears.
And the wild-wood murmured above us,
16
And all the wood-land things
Came thronging there to love us,
Each little throat that sings,
And all the painted wings.
O girl, made all of wood-lilies
21
Not the mirrored moon so still is
The raiment that rustled around you
26
Was all of young leaves made,
That wonderful night I found you
Alone in the forest-glade,
So white in the green shade.
For the room they sang and danced in,
31
Though the rest were unaware,
Was the wood we were entranced in,
And no one else was there—
Because we two were there.
