Beside an amethyst stream we strolled

And kept that midnight tryst.

The little stars drifted down the sky,

A hush! ... I felt a hand,

And once ... just once! ... came a whisper soft:

‘Dear heart, I understand!’

“I do not know all we said, dear heart,

The night ran swift away,

But all the charm of your presence sweet

Came back from Dream to Day.
