Welcome joy, welcome sorrow
Lethe´s weed and Hermes´ feather
come today and come tomorrow
I do love you both together!
Fair and foul I love together
Meadows sweet where flames are under
and giggle at a wonder
Nightshade with the wood bine kissing
serpents in red roses hissing
Cleopatra regal dress´d
with the arpis at her breast
Dancing music, music sad
Both together ,sane and mad
Laugh and sigh and laugh again
Oh the sweetness of the pain!
Muses bright and muses pale
Bare your faces of the veil
Let me see and let me write
of the day and of the night.
