Title is from Poem XXXVII from Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics by Bliss Carman. Here's the poem because it's lovely:
Well I found you in the twilit garden,
Laid a lover’s hand upon your shoulder,
And we both were made aware of loving
Past the reach of reason to unravel,
Or the much desiring heart to follow.
There we heard the breath among the grasses
And the gurgle of soft-running water,
Well contented with the spacious starlight,
The cold-wind’s touch and the deep blue distance,
Till the dawn came in with golden sandals.
