Come into the garden, Maud,

For the black bat, night, has flown,

Come into the garden, Maud,

I am here at the gate alone.

And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,

And the musk of the rose is blown.

For a breeze of morning moves,

And the planet of Love is on high,

Beginning to faint in the light that she loves

On a bed of daffodil sky.

 

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1809–92, English poet, in Maud  (1855) pt. 1, sect. 22, st. 1
