1. The moon in Scorpio
The face of my charming moon

2. In tender youth
Whose place is closest

3. To the folds of my chest
Than my tender heart

4. It started, I yearned and rejoiced
In the love of this young one

5. And cherished his fellowship
And woke up for me and drank

6. From the nectar of the lips
Not the nectar of the cup

7. If an idea crossed the blue
I said, a crescent more noble

8. In the sky of beauty
Or it appeared in brocade

9. I said, a leafy branch
In the gardens of Eden

10. To the meaning I sank
In love and drowned

11. In rapture and sorrow
It has no escape

12. From accepting the matter
In hope and despair
