When the stars were shining brightly,
And the earth was scented sweetly.
Softly squeaked the garden gate
And a footstep touched the sand.
Entered she with faint fragrance
And threw herself into my arms.
With sweetest kisses, tenderest caresses,
I freed her trembling figure from her dresses…
My dream of love is now dispelled forever.
The time has fleeted, and I die despairing!
And never did I love my life so dearly!
