Dawn's promising skies
Petals on a pool drifting
Imagine these in one pair of eyes
And this is my beloved.

Strange spice from the south
Honey through the comb sifting
Imagine these in one eager mouth
And this is my beloved.

And when she speaks and when she talks to me
Music! Mystery!
And when she moves, and when she walks with me
Paradise comes suddenly near.

All that can stir, all that can stun
All that's for the heart's lifting
Imagine these in one perfect one.

And this is my beloved
And this is my beloved
