Transcendental Sonnet #1386:
Tonight
Come sweet and tender girl away with me
The night is ours and there is much to do
I know a few things I would like to share
Some mysteries which you might like to see
Some things which are hidden but I know where
They are and I want to share them with you
The day was acrid tart with bitterness
Tonight one long black velvet sweet caress
Will wrap you warm within the tenderness
Of being understood of being known
As never before no longer alone
And your soft skin will sing with happiness
Love gives us wings to rise up and be free
Come sweet and tender girl away with me
