Under the arches and arches of flowers
We two and we two hnated and floated
Into the mystical midnight honrs.

All, tranquil words and worldly vis,l
You cannot see her soul astl,
On Gptoe, in her waiting eyes
You come and 60; you touch her hatr,

The smiling trouble Of her air
You note, bateannos understand
You cannot understand All. SO
