DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL (Noche Oscura) 1. "On a dark night, Kindled in love with yearnings --Oh, happy chance!-- I went forth without being observed, My house being now at rest. 2. "In darkness and secure, By the secret ladder, disguised --Oh, happy chance!-- In darkness and in concealment, My house being now at rest. 3. "In the happy night, In secret, when none saw me, Nor I beheld aught, Without light or guide, Save that which burned in my heart. 4. "This light guided me More surely than the light of noonday To the place where he (well I know who!) Was awaiting me-- A place where none appeared. 5. "Oh, night that guided me, Oh, night more lovely than the dawn, Oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover transformed in the Beloved! 6. "Upon my flowery breast, Kept wholly for himself alone, There he stayed sleeping, And I caressed him, And the fanning of the cedars made a breeze. 7. "As I spread his locks, The fresh wind from the turret (on high like the early morning breeze of a new day) Wounded my neck with its gentle hand, And caused all my senses to be suspended. 8. "I remained lost in oblivion, My face I reclined on the Beloved; All ceased And I abandoned myself, Leaving my cares forgotten Among the lilies."
