Coronet of Moonlight... Robert Graves...
Such was the circumstance of our first love:
Sea, silence, a full moon.
Nevertheless, even the same silence
Amended by a distant nightingale
From the same past, and gently heaving surf,
Brings me no sure revival of our dream-
For to be surely with you is to sleep,
Having well earned my coronet of moonlight
By no mere counting of processional sheep.
