Won't you help support DayPoems? Night in VeniceBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905Love, in this summer night, do you recall Midnight, and Venice, and those skies of June Thick-sown with stars, when from the still lagoon We glided noiseless through the dim canal? A sense of some belated festival Hung round us, and our own hearts beat in tune With passionate memories that the young moon Lit up on dome and tower and palace wall. We dreamed what ghosts of vanished loves made part Of that sweet light and trembling, amorous air. I felt in those rich beams that kissed your hair, Those breezes, warm with bygone lovers' sighs- All the dead beauty of Venice in your eyes, All the old loves of Venice in my heart.
