Sky and sea! the airy curtain
Sparkles like a holy altar
Will my angel come from the sky?
Will my angel come from the sea?
Here I wait for her; the wind
Now blows hot with love
Ah, that man who sighs for you
He overcomes you, o golden dreams!
Through the thick air
Neither shore nor mountains appear
The horizon kisses the waves;
The waves kiss the horizon
Here in the darkness, where I lie
Waiting with racing heatr
Come, o woman, come to my kiss
Of life and of love
Ah! Come!
