In the cool night air,
What I dare not in broad daylight!

The light nights, oh, those light nights!

I am your life, you my light:
what would day, what would sunlight bring?

With sleep that was dreamy peace

Green or something worse

I’m the one who comes when your summer is gone
I’m the one who comes when you’re not invited to dance
I’m the one who comes when your hair shines with silver

…so fair and beautiful and pure

vanish too fast

…Till I am weaker than water,
Water that drips from the fountain
Through thy white tapering fingers.

Turn again unto my bosom
I would have it night forever!
