Was it you for whom these lips trembled

Was it you for whom these lips trembled,

For you, that sweet, offered kiss?

Can an earthly life be so enjoyable?

Ha! how the light and radiance danced before my eyes,

All my senses aspired to those lips!

From those clear eyes shone

a yearning which tenderly beckoned me;

All echoed again in my heart

My gaze sank low

And the breezes whispered love songs.

Like a pair of stars

Gleamed your eyes, your cheeks

Cradled by golden hair;

Your gazes and smiles took

wing, and your sweet words

awoke a deep longing:

O Kiss, how burning red your mouth was!

I died, and first found life in fairest death.
