Always as I close my eyes
Language: English 
Always, as I close my eyes for sleep,
I send my spirit forth to seek your own,
Thus our nightly tryst we ever keep,
So sweetly that I never feel alone.

In a far land of wondrous light, with your twin soul,
I spend the mystic hours of night.
I could not live my days unless I knew
That with their ending I should meet again with you.
