O Candle Why does the moth love youA
Why is this restless soul devoted to youA

Your charm keeps it restless like mercuryB
Did you teach it the etiquette of LoveC

It circumambulates the site of your manifestationD
Is it inspired with the fire of your lightningE

Do the woes of death give it the peace of lifeF
Does your flame possess the quality of eternal lifeF

If you do not brighten this sorrowful worldG
This burning heart's tree of Longing may not green upH

Falling before you is the prayer of this little heartI
The taste for impassioned Love knows this little heartI

It has some zeal of the Primeval Beauty's LoverJ
You are a small r it is a small KalamK

The moth and the taste for the Sight of the LightL
This small insect and the Longing for the LightL
