Simple light of tender fabric,
Sole consolation, ah romance,
Moonlit world before the daybreak
Affection, love, you radiance,
Will you go with me? It’s not far -

The veiled light of that cheerful star
Which lives in dreams and so will die!
One who could return
Such love I bestow,
Faithful in life and death,
Lives not on Earth below.
