O ravisher of hearts
For the treasure
Far and distant
If I
Had not found
Closer in my heart
If I
Had not kissed
The softness
Of those lips
Had not beaten
My chest to mourn
Not tasted my tears
If I
That rebeck in hand
Had not sung
Flying free
If the beats
Of the music
Had not
Put me in raptures
If I
In the moonlit nights
In your remembrance
With cups of wine
Had yet not
Abandoned senses
If I
Had not placed reason
On your door steps
If unreason
Was not my creed
If I
Was still
Asking for more
When like rain drops
Your love
Poureth on me
