Yonder myriad stars the eyes are Of my darling, and they twinkle, And they beckon to me kmdly From the azure vault of heaven. Towards the azure vault of heaven. Towards the eyes of my beloved, Piously mine arms uplifting. Thus I supplicate and worship; Lovely eyes, ye lights of heaven. Graciously my soul inspire— Let me die and let me win you. You and all your spacious heavens. From the eyes of heaven yonder. Golden sparks fall trembling downward. Through the night. My soul dilateth. Filled and overfilled with passion. Oh ye eyes of heaven yonder, Weep yourselves to death within me! Till my spirit overfloweth With the radiant starry tear drops. 236

On the azure vault of heaven. Still I gaze through blessed hours. Till a white and filmy vapor Veils from me those eyes beloved.
