He visited me when morning had unveiled itself,
He visited me while dawn was traveling on
And the male ostrich of darkness had fled,
And the dark gloom of night was fleeing

And the armies of stars were fleeing,
And the armies of stars marched away
And the banner of radiance had been unfurled.
And the banner of light was unfurled

He came before dawn, offering union with him—
He came to give the gift of his company in the early morn
A young gazelle who had bewitched hearts.
Uplifting hearts that were enchanted

So I was certain he was the moon
And likewise, the night bears the moon.
Just as the night carries the moon
