Until It Pleases

My friend you are my lover

In the break of day

I asked them where I could find you

And where you make your stay

I heard you dwell in the mountains

This is the promise of days  

Oh that you would run down to meet me

With flowers on the way

Gazing through the lattice you wait behind my walls

Looking through my windows, oh fairest of all

By the does in the field do not awaken love 

Until it pleases, until it pleases 

And from a thousand trees

You are the apple tree

Sustain me as I taste your fruit, so sweet

I am resting in the shadows at your side, oh cover me

This my delight

And here I fall asleep
