I welcome the night
That beds me tonight.
I wink at the moon
That eyes me as I stand nude.
I look at the bed
That spreads out its hand
I feel the breeze
That rushes its kiss against my lips.
I lay between the sheets
In its passionate embrace I sleep.
But who can take your place?
For what else can give me sleep
Bar those sweet thots of you
Truly I shall sleep
But my heart shall be with you.
Only with you on my mind
Can I sleep tonight.
