The stars were shining The earth was scented The gate of the garden opened
A footstep grazed the sand She entered and fell into my arms She fell into my arms The sweetest kisses and caresses While trembling I stripped the form of all its veils My dream of love′s forever gone That moment fled I die in desperation I die in desperation I never loved life quite so much Never loved life so much
