Come Here to the Bright Houses

Come here to me, dear darling,
Around to the bright houses
Where the dull light at sunset
Shows on the ground, and the snake
Crawls down to the supple stream.

Until you get here, by the
Time that the stars are set in
The sky and presented to
You, offered as a sight for
Me to tame you, lucky, couth,

Unapproachable woman,
I will be here every day,
Where the stars sparkle, my heart
Did I say that I love you?
Well, now you know that it's so.
