Love can be expressed in various ways. "An August Night" expresses the romantic kind of love. This love is an example of emotional connection between male and female. This is love that is "from the heart", or sexual love. This poem gives a couple of metaphors explaining a sexual scene. The narrator is the female in the situation. She tells of his hands wandering and feeling her body. She describes the man's hands as "Ferrets" and her body as a "moonlit field". This is romantic because the love is shown through the man's hands and the author using ferrets to describe how the hands are jittery, squirmy, and all over the 'fields'. The "ferrets and moonlit fields" puts a cover over the hidden picture, softly unstressing the pure sexual poem to make the mind think, and work to imagine the loving scene.
