Lyrics

From the desert I come to thee
On a stallion shod with fire,
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window I stand,
And the midnight hears my cry;
I love thee, I love but thee,
With a love that cannot die

Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment-book unfold.
