Moon, my bride, dance
With me tonight. Twixt
Vestiges of sunlight in
Crow-black sabbath gown
I await our courtship.
Come dressed in mist an\' wonder;
Diamond tears upon your rosy face!
Speak of love most tender, of love divine;
Spill the dew of Heaven, passion sublime!
Oh, Moon!
Descend upon me with swan\'s grace
And bless my body frail; in roseate
Scarlet moonlight wash my sins away!
Rose diamond, rose of the sky;
In starless night, may you light my way!
