Ah, many a black man came to us, and in his hand
O Lord, a black night has befallen us, and in its hand
Was a perfumed bouquet, its gillyflowers in a lovely array.
A pure drink poured from its goodness to give us to drink.

No wonder he gave us its fragrant scent:
No wonder it brought us its scented breeze,
For dusk kindles the perfume of the blossoms’ breath.
So the breath of light makes fragrant its darkness.
