Forget me not, oh, Radiant One,
Forget me not, before day is done.
Beloved, bind our love as one,
Beloved, our love's race is run.
Forget me not, oh, Radiant One,
Forget me not, my setting sun.

A haze descends upon my sight,
A haze, a bloom of purest light.
From whence this rapture, this delight?
From whence this ecstasy so bright?
Youth's wine, in chalices poured,
Youth's wine, forever adored.
My eyes, like cups, overflow,
Like cups, where feelings gently flow.
Youth's wine, in chalices poured,
Youth's wine, forever adored.

You are my mad, delirious dream,
Na ka ta na, a flowing stream.
Forget me not, oh, Radiant One,
Forget me not, before day is done.
Beloved, bind our love as one,
Beloved, our love's race is run.
Forget me not, oh, Radiant One,
Forget me not, my setting sun.
