To-morrow all the halo will be sped;I will love you to-morrow truly.To-night you are too beautiful to love:Oh, raise your headAnd let the moonlight we were speaking ofLight up your tresses where they fall unrulyAlong your throat, and on your shoulder—so!God! where the breathing-shadows come and go,Just for to-night you have been visitedBy more of eternity than you can know.D.

To-morrow all the halo will be sped;

I will love you to-morrow truly.

To-night you are too beautiful to love:

Oh, raise your head

And let the moonlight we were speaking of

Light up your tresses where they fall unruly

Along your throat, and on your shoulder—so!

God! where the breathing-shadows come and go,

Just for to-night you have been visited

By more of eternity than you can know.
