We went along a forest road, Went naked in the night; Our bodies in the moonlight showed Curious and bright. I don't think you'd enjoy it; Although you have the wit, I doubt if you'd employ it Or like the lark a bit. Yet there was nothing novel That night in what we did - We saw the old moon travel; Like him, we went unhid. Just after dawn we met a dame Who some day shall be dead, And when we bright triumphant came She covered up her head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; ON HIS BIRTHDAY, 27 FEB. 1867 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL SIT DOWN SAD SOUL by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 4 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE LOWEST PLACE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THOSE WHO LOVE by SARA TEASDALE A CONCLUSORIE HUMNE TO THE SAME WEEK; & FOR MY FRIEND by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
