Of one short summer night!

"A wondrous night, when two reflections hovered,

Dreaming of love aloud

Here by the pool, until the moon was covered

By an impending cloud;

"And then they lost each other. Where but lately

The magic mirror shone,

A wider shadow, cruelly, sedately,

Passes ... and we are gone."

The Dreamer stayed: "Who speaks of passing here?
