"Under the canopy under the moon / Clad in a shining cloud sparkled with stars / Lover and loved one as one to be soon / Adam and Eve under Venus and Mars"
Transcendental Sonnet #1385: Under the Canopy
who will join me this fair night?
Full moon night-blooming jasmine-scented sky Stars fade discreetly to the background now But watching us that one unblinking eye Seems sympathetic to our love somehow
As now the silver velvet fog flows in To clothe our nakedness which knows no sin Bearing on tiptoes whispered secrecy Caressed beneath the moonbeams you and me By sweet delights of night in harmony Far as the eye of our full moon can see
Under the canopy under the moon Clad in a shining cloud sparkled with stars Lover and loved one as one to be soon Adam and Eve under Venus and Mars
