Woman, come and go as I.
Joyed, we borrow beauty from
The One who raised us in secret.  By
A flame She made us to become,

And in earth She shall conceal our forms.
The Twin of Each Soul, She builds the days
With the many masks of life's romance
For the joy of the pair mutually razed.

Woman, come and go as I,
As for our pleasure we play the glamour:
A light and shade cast 'fore our eye;
A thousandth veil upon the glimmer.

And as no thought can ever contain
That single moment when we come,
Those veils shall be rent! but yet shall remain
The Emptiness of All-In-None!
