I converse by night with the full moon when she tarries, and I see
The full moon's rays delayed, though I see
In its light a semblance of the splendor of her radiance.
In its light, her brilliant teeth flash

So I spent the night setting terms, with affection mingled,
So I remain, loving yet estranged
And union expanding, and estrangement contracting.
United, though parted, all at once
