Love, if I weep it will not matter,
And if you laugh I shall not care;
Foolish I am to think about it,
But it is good to feel you there.

Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking, -
White and awful the moonlight reached
Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere
There was a shutter losse, - it screeched!

Swing in the wind, - no wind blowing! -
I was afraid, and turned to you,
Put out my hand to you for comfort, -
And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew,

Under my hand the moonlight lay!
Love, if you laugh I shall not care,
But if I weep it will not matter, -
Ah, it is good to feel you there!
