Original text and translations

English text

The curtain drawn, I saw my love lie sleeping;
Thrice happy was that peeping,
for viewing her sweet lying,
preserves my life and keeps my soul from dying.
Of thousand joys, missing her, I had missed all,
whose sight revives me more than ruby pearl and crystal.
