1. Lead me at dawn before the morning light
And roam in the arena of youth and delight

2. Seize the visitor of passion, for good tidings
Were heralded by the breeze from the winds alight

3. Give me the wine as the bubbly when
Crowned by its foam with berries bright

4. In excelling in the scent of apples and wine
Not in the quantity of apples in sight

5. It's no wonder that it derives the sun's rays
Like stars derive their light

6. It's the origin of gentleness in its essence
As its drops are the element of limpid white

7. Bodies are drawn to it by nature
When witnessing its closeness to the soul and sprite

8. So it mended my languor and laziness
And stirred my stillness and respite

9. Between two rose buds and goblets
Of pleasure and comfort, out of sight

10. A melody deduced from a tale
A song that makes one forsake invite

11. For the sweetest life mixes corruption with its
Virtue, wrong with right
