Upon a darkened night 
The flame of love was burning in my breast 
And by a lantern bright 
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 


CHORUS 
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, beyond such mortal sight 
Without a guide or light 
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart 
That fire t'was 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 

CHORUS 

Within my pounding heart 
Which kept itself entirely for him 
He fell into his sleep 
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave 
And by the fortress walls 
The wind would brush his hair against his brow 
And with its smoothest hand 
Caressed my every sense it would allow 

CHORUS 

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 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
