The moon of heaven,
its reply we have seen,
in the earth's embrace, yesterday,
the moon's reflection, serene.

Someone's eyes, like sweet sherbet,
held within my own,
without the wine, the delight,
of intoxication, known.

Those eyes, playful, lifted the veil,
from a face so fair,
the beauty of a bud, the bloom of a rose,
revealed beyond compare.
in the earth's embrace, yesterday,
the moon's reflection, serene.

There, the flames died,
but here, they ignited anew,
extinguishing fire, a strange torment,
a paradoxical view.
in the earth's embrace, yesterday,
the moon's reflection, serene.
The moon of heaven,
its reply we have seen,
in the earth's embrace, yesterday,
the moon's reflection, serene.
