Amore

II

by E.E. Cummings

there is a

moon sole

in the blue

night

5  

amorous of waters

tremulous,

blinded with silence the

undulous heaven yearns where

in tense starlessness

10  

anoint with ardor

the yellow lover

stands in the dumb dark

svelte

and

15  

urgent

(again

love i slowly

gather

of thy languorous mouth the

20  

thrilling

flower)
