1. The fragrance of her breath mingles with the breeze at night
When darkness falls, sweet discourse is our delight

2. Her spirit wanders through the gloom and gently stirs
As though it keeps a secret tryst beyond our sight

3. It creeps, as night grows deep, as if beyond the veil
Of darkness, there awaits a lover true and bright

4. And when dawn breaks, it swiftly fades away again
As though for it the dawn's a watchful warden's light
