She loved upon the balcony + 

To anticipate the break of day, + 

When on the pallid eastern sky + 

The starry beacons fade away, + 

The horizon luminous doth grow, + 

Morning’s forerunners, breezes blow + 

And gradually day unfolds. + 

In winter, when Night longer holds + 

A hemisphere beneath her sway, + 

Longer the East inert reclines + 

Beneath the moon which dimly shines, + 

And calmly sleeps the hours away, + 

At the same hour she oped her eyes + 

And would by candlelight arise. + 
