You I want. Only you,
dearest, I desire.
Let me always say this from
the heart, no liar.
Other hopes of night and day
that lead me on, lead me astray;
for all fare false. Only you,
dearest, I desire.
As night’s prayer-word is unheard
that seeks sun’s fire —
so dream-deluded, it is you,
dearest, I desire.
As peace is shattered by storms’ riot
and yet at heart that storm seeks quiet —
so injuring you, yet only you,
dearest, I desire.
