Kindling the golden lamp,
I sat that evening.
I had the earnest will to decorate You
with a floral garland placed on the altar.
The evening star told me
that You were not attainable this way.
The lamp, the garland, the altar -
all are outside.
Yet that gem shines in the mind.
The night passed wastefully.
The golden lamp became extinguished.
At the end of the night the star Venus told me
that He had returned to the heavenly abode.
For, there had been a lack of heartfelt love.
