The white saucer like some full moon descendsAt last from the clouds of the table above; She sighs and dreams and thrills and glows, Transfigured with love. She nestles over the shining rim, Buries her chin in the creamy sea; Her tail hangs loose; each drowsy pawIs doubled under each bending knee.A long, dim ecstasy holds her life; Her world is an infinite shapeless white, Till her tongue has curled the last holy drop, Then she sinks back into the night, Draws and dips her body to heapHer sleepy nerves in the great arm-chair, Lies defeated and buried deepThree or four hours unconscious there. - Harold Monro
