1. Come with your radiant procession,
How thirsty the eyes are for you,

2. After you, oh moon,
The eye is blind and the world is your realm.

3. You pass behind a cloud,
That leans toward you and kisses you,

4. While I remain a captive of gloom
Imagining you in my thoughts.

5. Be wherever you wish, for I
Am but a possibility in the impossible,

6. I go on pilgrimage to your sanctity
And visit your throne in my imagination,

7. And I say patience, whenever
Escape is too difficult for the captive,

8. Perhaps my soul and your soul
Will embrace gently in the ether,

9. No matter how high your place rises
And how lofty your existence is,

10. For I, your imagination, follow you,
Thirstily sipping your overflowing generosity.

11. Oh moon of my wishes, oh moon
I am sick with longing,

12. You are the stored cure,
So pour your light into my blood.

13. Instill your eternity into my youth
And confer purity upon my heart,

14. Alas for a life like mirage
And a cup overflowing with misery.

15. Take me to you and save me
From what I suffer in the dust,

16. For my cup has tarnished, so quench my thirst,
With the purifying cup of your rays.

17. Woe to prolonged dreams,
While you and I are secluded,

18. Rising above the mountain tops,
And seeing the worlds from above.
