I meet my love under the stars
So far from watching eyes
Five long years we've met this way
My love, the night and I

So much in love we walked 'til dawn
Far away from city walls
In forest shelter-covered field
A flower blooms as darkness falls

This love so bold goes undeclared
A joy unseen, a world unknown
A love that dare not speak its name
Hidden treasure, precious stone

My lover's hand is wrapped in mine
Hidden always from the day
Across this meeting draws a veil
The age of reason turns away

For we two men go on and on
And my love walks next to me
And in some far off place I know
That our love may shameless be
