Hidden tryst between heaven and earth
A ballet of ebony over soft soil
whips fresh air in the forest of old
by the cool lake, under the white moon
Ballads of promise lie
between thin breaths.
Lovers move in tandem
coming together as one
by the cool lake, under the white moon
Crystal waters cleanse
their feet caked with clay
by the cool lake, under the white moon
Indulge! Indulge! Indulge!
By the cool lake, under the white moon
