Two steps ‘til sunrise... closer, warmer!
The twilight fades into the light.
Her sleepless phantom, tender murmur
Keeps me awake. Before my sight,
She heaves and casts her pale shadows
Against the walls. In black and white,
Survives my memory and shatters
My dreams of peace with sad delight.

O, gentle phantom, rest a while!
The heartbeat skips within my breast.
O, soothe me, calm me, and beguile
The conscious feeling of unrest.
O, grant me peace! Alone and lonely,
I seek in you my home, my nest.
In silence, lay beside me calmly
And rest your head upon my chest.
