Bench in the shade.

To Call Up The Shades

 

One candle is enough. Its gentle light

will be more suitable, will be more gracious

when the Shades come, the Shades of Love.

One candle is enough. Tonight the room

should not have too much light. In deep reverie,

all receptiveness, and with the gentle light-

in this deep reverie I'll form visions

to call up the Shades, the Shades of Love.
