what shall I do if suddenly I found

      what shall I do if suddenly I found
      myself helplessly trying to keep my
      self from loving you? what then shall I do?
      since that night when the light of the crescent
      moon glimpsed upon the most profound gropings
      of my then inanimate existence,
      I was as if cast into the stars, lost
      in the distant efficacy of your
      tenderness. it was that very evening
      that I was cast into your raveling;
      I opened my eyes this morning and saw
      the familiar sunshine of yesterday.
      If I cannot help it any longer,
      I shall but then tell you more about it.
