Two Fond Hearts

The night was dark, lonely, chilly and dull, Lost was a faint and crescent moon in his Private and leisurely chat with Venus; Both tried nigh hard to hide their animus A stranger was alone, feeling amiss In a boat, heavy air filled to the hull. Startled by the rowing boat, cold water Off river, and night bestirred were in sleep, And stared hard at the hapless pair of oars; With hard day in fields, tiring farming chores, The village slept through the night, sound and deep, Not a soul seemed awake, out to loiter. And knocks on door when ceased, beating no more, The two fond hearts beat as never before! ______________________________________________________ The piece has atypical rhyme scheme.
