There is a Beautiful Creature

Living in a hole you have dug.

-

So at night

I set fruit and grains

And little pots of wine and milk

Beside your soft earthen mounds,

-

And I often sing.

-

But still, my dear,

You do not come out.

-

I have fallen in love with Someone

Who hides inside you.

-

We should talk about this problem -

-

Otherwise,

I will never leave you alone.
