On a White Horse

Some day you’ll appear on a white horse. I’ll see you on a horseback from afar. You’ll dismount it and I’ll hear your voice, “Lady, you dazzled me like the brightest star...” I’ll lower my eyes, burning with shame And give you my silk lacy handkerchief. “Lady, could you tell me your name?” I’ll raise my head, though I’ll be stunned a bit... You and your horse will be very tired, So I’ll offer my castle to you, Though my burning cheeks will be still red, Though the sudden feeling will be quite new... Some day you’ll appear on a white horse. I’ll see you on a horseback from afar. This day I’ll find my life-giving source. But today I still don’t know where you are...
