Lyrics:
Upon a darkened night
The flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern light
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Shrouded by the night
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
While all within lay quiet as the dead
Oh, night, thou was my guide
Oh, night, more loving than the rising sun
Oh, night, that joined the lover
To the beloved one
Transforming each of them into the other
Upon that misty night
In secrecy, upon this misty light
Without a guide or light
Then that which burned so deep within my heart
The fire twas led me on
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
It was a place where no one else could come
Oh, night, thou was my guide
Oh, night, more loving than the rising sun
Oh, night, that joined the lover to the beloved one
Transforming each of them into the other
Within my pounding heart
Which kept itself entirely for him
He fell into his sleep
And beneath the cedars all my love I gave
And all the fortress walls
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
Caressed my every sense, it would allow
Oh, night, thou was my guide
Oh, night, more loving than the rising sun
Oh, night, that joined the lover to the beloved one
Transforming each of them into the other
I lost myself to him
And laid my face upon my lover's breast
And care and grief grew dim
As in the morning's mist became the light
And there they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
And there they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
And there they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
