Sleep in my arms! Night hides
Under its wings your flaring cheek
Happy and warm soon you dream
Let me flee in dreams like the wave flees the wind
Captured again. Gasping. Fighting.
Will not. Will. And will be kissed again.
Slumber my friend! Night slips
Love guards you tenderly and silent
Sleep in my arms! The crescent of the moon
Lifted out of the groves' shadow
And to your bosom my love
Carves its reflection of the flight of the hours
Holy the free heart that lives
In the middle of whirling blood streams uproar!
Your battle has ended. The moon is lit
The wind of the spring night. Sleep in my arms.
