How beautiful is thee on this winter's eve;
Far more beautiful then the new spring leaves.
Thy face so glimmers through a cold winter's night;
And how precious it is to have thee in sight.
Thy hair so long and shines of black gold,
This treasure of mine that no one can hold.
Thine eyes, how, like the moon lights the skies,
Thy lights my very soul, and our love yet survives.
How I wish in my arms to hold thee at dawn;
If only thou could see how my grief away is drawn.
Happiness fills thy heart and thy soul,
Knowing that by thee I shall eternally behold.
