Lucy Maud Montgomery - Twilight and I Went Hand in Hand
Work rating: Low

Twilight and I went hand in hand, 
  As lovers walk in shining Mays, 
  O`er musky, memory-haunted ways, 
Across a lonely harvest-land, 
Where west winds chanted in the wheat 
An old, old vesper wondrous sweet. 

Oh, Twilight was a comrade rare 
  For gypsy heath or templed grove, 
  In her gray vesture, shadow-wove; 
I saw the darkness of her hair 
Faint-mirrored in a field-pool dim, 
As we stood tip-toe on its rim. 

We went as lightly as on wings 
  Through many a scented chamber fair, 
  Among the pines and balsams, where 
I could have dreamed of darling things, 
And ever as we went I knew 
The peeping fairy folk went too. 

I could have lingered now and then 
  By gates of moonrise that might lead 
  To some forgotten, spiceried mead, 
Or in some mossy, cloistered glen, 
Where silence, very still and deep, 
Seemed fallen in enchanted sleep. 

But Twilight ever led me on,
  As lovers walk, until we came
  To hills where sunset`s shaken flame 
Had paled to ashes dead and wan; 
And there, with footsteps stolen-light 
She left me to the lure of night.
