Awoke — In Dawn’s embrace,

Remnants of Dionysian love I taste.

Not a moment did we waste,

Joined in Edenic Grace.

Hear now Autumn,

Whispering her seductive song:

A prelude to decay,

When Winter’s night

Entombs the Day.

But as Moses the Serpent raised,

Releasing Israel from sin’s malaise

So shall Zephyr’s breath dispel,

Bitter Boreas’s icy hell.

With it, my Love, will bloom,

Our passion’s fruit

Breeches the womb,

Like Christ’s rise triumphant from the tomb.
