The stars away from our vision did trot;
the night still with its dull, stagnant darkness.
The chill drove us to long for our warm cot,
but our hearts lay where the sky was starless.

Only seen was but our lover beside
gazing upon the other's comely face.
Our still bodies gravitate and collide
at the lips as we tenderly embrace.

The sky seemingly burst with light, the dark
recedes; moving shades shift the sky of coal.
Your sweet love makes a pleasing, lasting mark
on my heart, on my conscience, on my soul.

We part and we smile, the night darkening,
and remember that kiss, the beginning.
