no other love would ever be.

This rose petal was a witness

The day I no longer know

From your lips I heard indeed

the sweetest of all melodies.

all that I ever dreamt of you

that moment I had at last...

In your eyes where night was present
10
that night I go ship-wrecked!

then I was between your arms,
7
then I found a warmer shelter...

I kissed your lovely mouth

where gaiety always frolicked!

for the first time with you!
