For a Fleeting Moment

For a Fleeting Moment

The departing Sun

For a last golden kiss

Making the earth speechless

With a winking glance!

 
If for a fleeting moment,

The world looks the other way

 
I will lift her thin veil

Of half-blushing smile

And tickle the flower

 
Of her youth into shivers

 
Of a smiling fragrance

 
Night is glued

To the dreaming face

Of a young moon

Waving merrily

At the jealous clouds

 
If for an ever lingering moment,

The moon looks the other way,

I can shade a wistful tear

In the bottomless hush

Of her sleeping youth

And crown her dreams

With jewel of our love!
