1. Redeem me, my master, I'm all alone
And let me live two thousand years more

2. The narcissus is gone, so drink to
The scattered beauties and the rose

3. Find me one with you, embraced
Though now it's lost to me

4. Mix it a drink with a radiance
Sweeter than honey from the comb

5. Summer's end cools the hot noontide
And its leaves are cooled in turn

6. Pick a rose for me from the garden
More perfect than any promise kept

7. He spoke, the rose held in his hand
With a goblet brighter than lightning:

8. "Drink in gladness, my lover,
Sip from my palm upon your cheek."
