This vision passed before my eyes:
A lady from the sacred skies.
Who trod with tender steps of grace
Towards me, she had turned her face.
This lady was my true first love,
My angel from the worlds above.
I gladly met her gracious glance
And fell at once into a trance
So deep, that there could be no cure,
Since I had met with gaze so pure.
Transfixed, I could remain no more
An exile, on this sombre shore.
With her, I\'d have to wing my way
Without her, here, I cannot not stay.
I\'ll leave this world, my home and wife
This vestige of a mortal life.
Enchanted, I\'ll forsake them all
Bewitched by gorgeous goddess\' call...
Yet, those who will can follow me
Across the separating sea.
To start a life, of love, anew
Love twins, with their supporting crew!
My plans to leave have all been made;
This vision, I daren’t let it fade!
