To you I pledge
on this long night,
the promise only we
   can keep.
No other two
can claim to know
what we have learned,
nor feel what we
     have felt.
The others feign their
     loyalty --
say: two hearts
beat as one...
False hope, faint truths,
and faded dignity --
no inkling of the vows
in darkness made,
which only we
     can keep.
