QUEEN-MOON of this enchanted summer night, <br />One virgin slave companioning thee,--I lie <br />Vacant to thy possession as this sky <br />Conquer'd and calm'd by thy rejoicing might; <br />Swim down through my heart's deep, thou dewy bright <br />Wanderer of heaven, till thought must faint and die, <br />And I am made all thine inseparably, <br />Resolv'd into the dream of thy delight. <br />Ah no! the place is common for her feet, <br />Not here, not here,--beyond the amber mist, <br />And breadths of dusky pine, and shining lawn, <br />And unstirr'd lake, and gleaming belts of wheat, <br />She comes upon her Latmos, and has kiss'd <br />The sidelong face of blind Endymion.<br /><br />Edward Dowden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-garden-v-a-summer-moon/
