I am scorched by
The all-consuming fire of a mighty love.
Beautiful little tulip!
Only you can provide balm for my wound.
The lovely sparkle in your eyes
Is the lively fire of dawn;
The dew on your lips
Dispels a thousand worries.
Respond with angelic words
To your lover’s request:
I shall repay your response
With a thousand kisses of ambrosia.
(Mihaly Csokonai Vitez)
