SAELL VAR EG THA 
(So Joyous I Was) 
 
   One midnight sun, with cause, 
   I was so blissed, so blessed, 
   When pure and loveliest 
   You opened like a rose. 
   I knew you lithe and close, 
   You showed me all your favour. 
   Yes I was blessed, was blissed, 
   Dear God! recall the fervour 
   As you kissed and kissed.

   To know the clockhands hover
