In the evening twilight, Night blooming honeysuckle, sweet galium, sweet fern, and soft mosses are gently embraced by delicate vanilla and fresh tea leaves.
Forever shed your sweetness on the night,
Dear honeysuckle, flower of our delight!
Forever breathe the mystery of that hour
When her hand touched me, lightlier than a flower, —
And life became forever strange and sweet,
A gift to lay with worship at her feet.
