1. Love flows to a hidden end
Like perfume in its rose

2. Closer to souls in its scent
By how deep its source goes

3. When it's gone, on its chest
Lies the grave of that ethos

4. Such is love and its goals
In its fleeting flash or its thunderous throes

5. O you through whom beauty did grace
Creation, your heart its soldier, your face its base

6. Magic weaves round your lips
Birthplace of love, cradle it keeps

7. Worldly troubles and pains
Lie in wait by your gaze

8. You've left me dizzy, drunk with delight
My heart astir, my senses alight

9. And you, who tasted love's taste
From the magic of his eyes and his chaste embrace

10. Your eyes that dyed themselves
With the arrogance of glory or fame

11. Your eyes that conceal within
Tranquil sorcery and restless din

12. Like a secret half-confessed
Hiding the cosmos you haven't addressed

13. Vision of my world and its dreams
Devotion's leaf in its scheme

14. Ideal of beauty, its endowment divine
Fulfilling the promise of design

15. Come, o longing of my heart, do not refrain
From a union your hands would not deign

16. We'll welcome the spirit with our love anew
And resurrect the dead from their graves into you
