The Earth is Full of Breathless Whisperings

Only of thee and me the nightwind sings;
        Only of us the lovers speak at sea;
The earth is full of breathless whisperings
        Only of thee and me.

Only of thee and me the forests chant;
        Only of us the stir in bush and tree;
The rain and sun inform the blossoming plant
        Only of thee and me.

Only of thee and me till all shall fade;
        Only of us the world's first thought can be
For we are love, and heaven itself is made
        Only of thee and me.
—Louis Untermeyer
