Classic Poem

We are alone,
the night is gone,
there is no sky,
The fog has blotted out the stars,
the waters lie
Hushed at our feet.
The fog has laid a silence on the little harbor.
The quick beat,
And pulse of restless boats is stilled.
The earth has broken loose, it floats
In a cold vapor where the dark is spilled.

We are alone,
draw closer
lest the cold fog drown you too,
Or quench this rising flame of love.
We are alone,
There is no world about us,
only you
And I, and this great silence,
Silence of hushed night, of darkness,
Of your quiet breast,
And the long wordless silence of my mouth
Where your mouth is pressed.
