To share its light, locked-hair strove.
In supernatural Beauty bright;
Of Light-rays, was the Figure wove,
To share its light, locked-hair strove.
"Thy Garment color wave-dove
By thy hand the sign of love,
Thy eyes sweet enchantment,
Raying to me, oh! enchantment.
By thy hand the sign of love,
Thy eyes sweet enchantment,
Raying to me, oh! enchantment.

How willingly thy love to part!
With delight I should be bound
To thy rocky house in deep ground."
How willingly thy love to part!
With delight I should be bound
To thy rocky house in deep ground."
