Prolong the night, Goddess who sets us aflame!
Hold back from us the golden-sandalled dawn!
Already on the sea the first faint gleam
...
The trees have kept some lingering sun in their branches,
Veiled like a woman, evoking another time,
...
My brunette with the golden eyes, your ivory body, your amber
Has left bright reflections in the room
Above the garden.
