Exmoor Verses II. Saturn

Topics: classic

From my farm, from hr farm         Furtively we came.     In either home a hearth was warm:         We nursed a hungrier flame.     Our feet were foul with mire,         Our faces blind with mist;     But all the night was naked fire         About us where we kiss'd.     To her farm, to my farm,         Loathing we returned;     Pale beneath a gallow's arm         The planet Saturn burned.
