• To the rose that blooms in silence:
    Do you find much comfort there?
    In the velvet darkness, you hide
    Seeking solace from the ails of the world.
    Tell me, silent blossom, is it worth it?

    Does the darkness caress you softer than I?
    Solitary rose, do you fear the gaze of strangers
    And seek the solace of the stars?
    The darkness cannot love you as I can
    And stars cannot know you as I do

    Is the comfort of the dark
    Sweeter than the solace in a soft embrace?
    Does the symphony of the night compare
    With the skylark’s dulcet melodies?
    Do you find the moon hides all the flaws
    That the sun so unmercifully reveals?

    Your shimmering ramparts, cool and aloof
    Indeed keep out all that may seek to harm,
    But in the same stroke confine you
    To self-imposed solitude.
    The warmth in your ivory tower
    Will never, in the end, warm your heart

    Do not fear, my silent beauty, the stirring of your heart
    They are the echoes of my love, resounding within you
    Embrace them, do not shun them - I beg of you

    For my life begins when you smile at me
    The gleam in your eyes lights a fire in my chest
    Your slightest gaze sets my heart aflame.

    Fair rose, the night is just beginning
    Come out, and see the stars.
    Open your soul to the sky
    And see eternity stretch out on all sides.
    Savor the moment, drink in with your senses
    Come away from your solitude
    Come away with me
