1. O night, linger for me, I do not want the morning
My love's face embracing me is lamp enough

2. His radiance is my full moon, his saliva my wine
His cheek my apple sweet and ripe

3. His laughter as he teases me is plenty,
No need have I for any star’s bright light

4. With my own hands I wrapped his slender throat
In a kerchief, my palm his veil

5. This is highest grace, so leave us now
Entwined, we've no desire for open spaces

6. If in God's sanctuary we shared an embrace
Our veil no shame or scandal here would make

7. If God wished to pardon his servants
No temptation in this life would He create
