Which stroked your golden hair, your sunny face,

Even as flying clouds o'er mountain lands

Caress with fleeting love the morning sun.

Now I was with you, and by your commands.

Your love was mine at last completely won,

And waited but the blossom. How you sang,

Laughed, ran about your palace rooms and none

Closed doors against me, desks and closets sprang

To my touch open, all your secrets lay

Revealed to me in gladness—and this pang
