Moonlight

The far moon maketh lovers wise
    In her pale beauty trembling down,
Lending curved cheeks, dark lips, dark eyes,
    A strangeness not their 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.
