"What have I to offer you?"
She anxiously expressed;
"For love is weak, the world is strong,
and we are far from blessed!
The sun will rise, despite our cries,
though we have done no wrong!
This love, we can't pursue."
"Hear me then, I'll answer true."
And all he now confessed;
"For death is short, yet life is long,
and love's our dearest quest!
The moon is wise, and hears our sighs,
transforming them to song!
This love, we must renew."
Baffled, with no common view,
both lovers acquiesced;
For united they must belong,
by Cupid's own request!
The stars comprise, their angel's eyes;
a comfort now lifelong!
This love, we won't undo.
