He embraced me until morning—morning!
Embrace me until the morning, the morning
And from love’s anguish I said, “No parting!”
And you said from the serenity of passion, no serenity

And my cheek remained against his cheek,
And my cheek did not cease to be on his cheek
And this is his habit with the beautiful.
And this is his habit in intimacy
