Upon that misty night in secrecy, beyond such mortal sight Without a guide or light than that which burned so deeply in my heart That fire t'was led me on and shone more bright than of the midday sun To where he waited still it was a place where no one else could come Chorus Within my pounding heart which kept itself entirely for him He fell into his sleep beneath the cedars all my love I gave And by the fortress walls the wind would brush his hair against his brow And with its smoothest hand caressed my every sense it would allow Chorus

I^Am lost m^Fyself to ^Amhim and l^Faid my f^Cace up^Fon my lovers br^Feast A^Amnd care and gr^Fief grew ^Amdim as^F in the m^Cornings m^Fist bec^Fame the l^Cight

^AmThere they d^Fimmed am^Congst the l^Filies f^Cair.
