1. O beloved savior
Who visited and bid farewell

2. Shyly, while passion
Writhed at his feet-

3. Silent, though he was
A melody of a thousand songs-

4. My heart called him, my soul whispered to him
And he knew-

5. O dawn of sorcery, light and beauty-speak!
Else aid my shredded heart and have mercy-

6. O conqueror who strikes the heart, though it be a shattered fortress
Since you rose above it, doubting and bidding farewell

7. O allure swaying by
And mercy smiling-

8. If hope is not for me
Nor my share of fortune,

9. Or if my portion is lost
Let me dream of your beauty.
