1. I saw you smiling, so you showed me
The full moon in the night sky smiling back

2. Your beauty poured forth light that guided me
To the elusive goal I sought in vain

3. So joy came fluttering down
And soothed my wounds of sorrow

4. I was but the most wretched
In my gloomy days of life

5. Then love came and ignited my heart
Making sweet my burning embers

6. I became one pitied
Deserving of kindness and mercy

7. I mock fate whenever I see
My beloved's smiling face
