1. Man cannot live without the sight
Of beauty that delights his eyes,

2. And merry tales to lift his heart,
And fragrance of musk that makes him rise.

3. The touch of downy skin that's smooth
As moon when half its course is through,

4. The taste of kisses sweet as wine,
That on a smiling lip he'll find.

5. Who's granted these five ecstasies,
His life is filled with joy that frees

6. His spirit. And if death should come,
He will not care when life is done.
