First Line: The far moon maketh lovers wise
Last Line: Her twilight enters in.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Subject(s): Love
The far moon maketh lovers wise
In her pale beauty trembling down,
Lending curved cheeks, dark lips, dark eyes,
A strangeness not her own.
And, though they shut their lids to kiss,
In starless darkness peace to win,
Even on that secret world from this
Her twilight enters in.
