by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence (1885 - 1930)
Aware
Language: English
Slowly the moon is rising out of the muddy haze, Divesting herself of her golden shift, and so Emerging white and exquisite; and I in amaze See in the sky before me, a woman I did not know I loved, but there she goes, and her beauty hurts my heart; I follow her down the night, begging her not to depart.
