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
