Come and spread thy silken cloak upon me,
No other raiment will I wear
But thy aethereal garment
Of darkness and sweet air!
O goddess of soft unhurried hours,
Mistress of warm and whispered love,
Guardian of peace unsullied,
Thy silver orb above
Solemnly proclaims thy reign established
Under the stars’ eternal light,
An empire devoted to
The revelries of Night
. .
. . "It won't change when you marry," he said
