Adam Oehlenschlager

“How much must come together in the world

That love's enchantment may be brought to pass!

First the two hearts which know each other well,

Then charm which doth accompany them both,

The moon then casting its bewitching beams

Through the beech forests in the early spring,

Then that these two can meet there all alone--

Then the first kiss--and then... their innocence.”
