1. He promised a visit, a promise unbroken
I think he pities me and shows me affection

2. The full moon resides now in my heart, its gaze
Ever fixed on me, no glance left unspoken

3. When he saw my sickness grow, my state
Unrecognizable, no trace left as a token

4. The stars in night's sky complained of my vigil
The doves once cooed now left me heartbroken

5. The morning breeze stirred him to show care
In reunion he tilted towards me awoken

6. He drew near and greeted me, bringing life
To one dead by his aloofness, beyond words spoken

7. In the morning he was lightning, from his smile
Loot and pearls and everything golden

8. When we met and I asked for his name
Bewildered, he said "I am Joseph" a token
