Cleis of the Yellow Roses

Cleis of the yellow roses,
Cleis, my Cleis fair,
Cleis, Cleis, tell me where
Thine heart sleeps and dozes,
Thine heart wound with yellow roses,
Yellow roses in thine hair!

Cleis of the radiant eyes,
Cleis, my Cleis fair,
Cleis, Cleis, tell me where
Thine heart secret lies,
Thine heart behind thy radiant eyes,
Radiant eyes beneath bright hair!

Cleis of the quiet features,
Cleis, my Cleis fair,
Cleis, Cleis, tell me where
Thine heart has its teachers,
Thine heart beneath thy quiet features,
Quiet features through golden hair!

Cleis of the rosy-blood cheeks,
Cleis, my Cleis fair,
Cleis, Cleis, tell me where
Thine heart mine heart seeks,
Thine heart in thy rosy-blood cheeks,
Rosy-blood cheeks held in thine hair!

Cleis of the fairy-gold heart,
Cleis, my Cleis fair,
Cleis, Cleis, tell me where
Thine heart dwells apart,
Thine heart shining, fairy-gold heart,
Fairy-gold heart and yellow hair!
