Have you forgotten how one Summer night We wandered forth together with the moon, While warm winds hummed to us a sleepy tune? Have you forgotten how you praised both light And darkness; not embarrassed yet not quite At ease? and how you said the glare of noon Less pleased you than the stars? but very soon You blushed, and seemed to doubt if you were right. We wandered far and took no note of time; Till on the air there came the distant call Of church bells: we turned hastily, and yet Ere we reached home sounded a second chime. But what; have you indeed forgotten all? Ah how then is it I cannot forget? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHUT OUT THAT MOON by THOMAS HARDY ASTRONOMY by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN ONE'S-SELF I SING by WALT WHITMAN EPITAPH ON CHARLES II by JOHN WILMOT THE RE-CURED LOVER EXULTETH IN HIS FREEDOM by THOMAS WYATT ON THE MOOR by ROBERT ADAMSON (1832-) PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 68.
