The stars were gleaming,
The ground was fragrant...
The creak of the garden gate,

Light footsteps in the sand,
The smell of her hair. She came
And fell into my arms.


Oh tender kisses, sweet caresses,
While, trembling, I beheld

Her beautiful form freed of its gown.

Gone forever is my dream of love.

Time has fled, and I die in despair!
I die in despair,
But never have I loved life so much
