1. He cupped his hand over my mouth and embraced me
While we were intoxicated with passion

2. And he stayed with me until morning without
Our meeting becoming known or evident

3. He deceived me then counted his deception
As a favor to my love from his blessings

4. If only that meeting had not ended or
Had been but a dream that never was

5. He visited me falsely without appointing
A time, and its time never came

6. So if it was an imaginary visit
We found safety in it from suspicions

7. And if it was false, how much falsehood
Has a dead man lived by in sorrow
