1. I wished to kiss the beloved, so he came to me
And kissed me twice in the dream, gently, tenderly

2. Oh, how sweet was that kiss to me, and its coolness
Against a burning passion that melts from ecstasy

3. And I hope to kiss awake, a mouth
Where wine's gray mixes with musk and honey

4. To quench a thirst of spirits, its draft
And witness lips like pearls in a necklace
