1. I sipped an elixir from his lips,
And kissed a ruby from his cheek.

2. I clasped a jasmine from his neck,
The rose, the blossom and spring's perfume.

3. I embraced from him a gentle sand dune,
A moist branch and a shining full moon.

4. I saw by his light in the darkness
Everywhere, by night, the light of day.
