• Harken! Oh, Lover, pallid!
    Hear my plutonian ballad!
    I declare to thee a nocturne love
    And exclaim rejoice at your reply!
    For thou hast surceased my sorrow.
    And I long for the morrow
    For those arms of yours hold me close,
    And I see your ashen face and sapphire eyes.
    Kisses tender as lamb's,
    Acknowledged with amiable hands.
    Held in adoration by Aphrodite and angles,
    Our love like love of cherubim and seraphim.
    Unenamored no longer for i am loved by him.
    Madrigal done, Oh, my lover, dear.
    Hearest thou what was declared by me?
    Dost thou disclose, also, what i feel?
    Or am i left on Cupid sinking keel?
    To what i ask of thee,
    Harken! Oh, lover, mine and answer soon.
