Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKL MNMOP

As a man and woman makeA
a garden between them likeB
a bed of stars hereC
they linger in the summer eveningD
and the evening turnsE
cold with their terror itF
could all end it is capableG
of devastation All allH
can be lost through scented airI
the narrow columnsJ
uselessly rising and beyondK
a churning sea of poppiesL
-
Hush beloved It doesn't matter to meM
how many summers I live to returnN
this one summer we have entered eternityM
I felt your two handsO
bury me to release its splendorP
