Lyrics
I hear
Fire draws
My soul from inside my heart to dark halls
No one in empty
No God, but inside my life to lead me.
O, happy night,
In secret, when no one sees me
O night my guide,
Sweeter than the dawn, and more lovely.
My unrest,
My caresses,
Awake my lover where he lies sleeping
Fan trees in the wind
Part his hair, I am the cedar breezes
Wound of mine; Speak.
Who made thee? It was He.
I myself cease,
All the world undone among the lilies.
