Divine Love: Immense Joy X

So I move from top to beneath you 

Through the night to the break of the day, 

As the Sun, that makes the way

For another day to know you more

To which to our merging we’re moving

It is clear to me how every time

In love is immense joy, although the ghost 

Of great sorrow lurks in the shadows.

But as it comes to pass, if thy touch is enough, 

And a kiss heightens the longing, 

I want to be in this euphoria, forever

E’en though I know pain is part of life

I shall ply the shuttle to the end.

A perfect life and happily thereafter   

Is mine, says the lil’ ol’ me, what we were   

Destined to be since the fire first consumed us,

That until death we may both watch and sleep 

Beside each other; our vow   

From each to derive pleasure,

To follow one another in life,

To flee, and in our nest shut ourselves, 

And pledge ourselves to the pathway of our privacy.
