John Updike - The Blessing lyrics

The room darkened, darkened until our nakedness became a form of gray; then the rain came bursting, and we were sheltered, blessed, upheld in a world of elements that held us justified. In all the love I had felt for you before, in all that love, there was no love like that I felt when the rain began: dim room, enveloping rush, the slenderness of your throat, the blessèd slenderness.
