It's ten o'clock at night in the room in semidarkness	A
My sister is asleep hands on her chest	B
Her face is very white and very white her bed	C
As if it understood the light is almost unlit	C
	-
She sinks into the bed like rosy fruit	C
from smooth pastures into the depths of the mattress	A
The air enters her chest and raises it chastely	D
With its rhythm measuring the fleeting minutes	A
	-
I tuck her tenderly into the white covers	A
And protect from the air her two divine hands	A
Walking on tiptoe I close all the doors	A
leave the shutters half open and draw the drapes	A
	-
There's a lot of noise outside drowning so much noise	A
The men are suing each other whisper the women	E
Words of hate go up the shouts of the merchants	A
Oh voices stop it Don't enter till you come to your nest	C
	-
My sister is weaving her silk cocoon	F
Like a skilled caterpillar her cocoon is a dream	G
With thread of gold she weaves the silken ball	D
Spring is her life I am already summer	H
	-
She counts with only fifteen Octobers in her eyes	A
And so her eyes are so clean and clear	I
She beleives that storks from strange countries	A
Come down carrying beautiful babies with little red feet	C
	-
Who wants to enter now Oh is it you good wind	C
Do you want to watch her Come in But first	C
Warm up a moment don't go so soon	F
and freeze the gentle dream in her present	C
	-
Like you it's well that the rest would like to come in	J
and watch that whiteness those immaculate cheeks	A
Those fine bags under her eyes those simple lines	A
You would see them wind and kneel and weep	K
	-
Oh if you love her be good a day because she	L
flees from the light if it hurts her Watch your words	A
and your intention Her soul like wax can be carved	C
But like wax too much touch destroys her	H
	-
Do as that star that watches her by night	C
Filtering its eye through a crystalline veil	D
That star rubs its eyelashes and spins	A
But does not wake her silent in the sky	M
	-
Fly away if it's possible for your snow white orchard	C
Piety for your soul She is immaculate	C
Piety for your soul I know it all it's true	N
But she is like the sky She knows nothing	O
