Great Love, you alone can satisfy.

I long to be alone with you

At suppertime,

Reclining in the banquet hall,

And getting up with you to dance

To the exotic melody and the rhythm 

As it breathes.

My skirt bellows out toward you

And collapses in on you,

Just as the cosmos you describe 

At its beginning and its end.

And just as closely as they follow one another,

So close that I can not remember 

A time of my love for you beginning 

And cannot imagine an end

To the dizzy way I feel when you spin me,

The discombobulation in my soul

When you pull me close in the dance,

And whisper your secret longings in my ear.
