1. On a day of intimacy we strolled
By a river, its leaves glossy green,

2. When its sun hid behind a veil
And its hours donned the dusk's screen,

3. A star peered out of the sky's rim,
Bright and sparkling on the scene,

4. The limpid river in splendor flowed,
The star within it dazzling, serene,

5. Borne by a beauty whose charm I adored,
Veiled in blue, fearing the zephyr’s keen.
