Wide open stood the door; he need not climb;

And she herself, before the pointed time,20

Had spread the board, with roses strew'd the room,

And oft looked out, and mused he did not come.

At last he came: O, who can tell the greeting

These greedy lovers had at their first meeting?

He asked; she gave; and nothing was denied;

Both to each other quickly were affied:

Look how their hands, so were their hearts united,

And what he did, she willingly requited.
