• Dark the Night, with breath all flowers,
  And tender broken voice that fills
  With ravishment the listening hours,--
  Whisperings, wooings,
  Liquid ripples, and soft ring-dove cooings
  In low-toned rhythm that love's aching stills!
  Dark the night
  Yet is she bright,
  For in her dark she brings the mystic star,
  Trembling yet strong, as is the voice of love,
  From some unknown afar.

  George Eliot
