O glimmering goddess all purple and pleasure
Thou azure-gemmed vault of starry night-splendor
Open for me the voluptuous sky
And shed upon earth thy faint faery light
Nuit! Nuit! Tis Thee I invoke!
Enfold me and wrap me in thy gemm-ed cloak!
To Me! To Me! I love thee, I sigh!
For thine is the milk of the naked night Sky!
Hooded and hidden, thou gem of the crown
Infinite space be thy three-veil-ed gown
Thee I invoke, O beauteous one
I who am priestess of snake and of sun (or: I who am priest of the snake of the sun)
Nuit! Nuit! Tis Thee I invoke!
Enfold me and wrap me in thy gemm-ed cloak!
To Me! To Me! I love thee, I sigh!
For thine is the milk of the naked night Sky!
I dissolve into naught -the folds of thy womb
The dew of the stars I take as my tomb
For one cherished kiss I surrender my all
And into the depths of thy star-bosom fall
Nuit! Nuit! Tis Thee I invoke!
Enfold me and wrap me in thy gemm-ed cloak!
To Me! To Me! I love thee, I sigh!
For thine is the milk of the naked night Sky!
With wine and rich food and love I am filled
For love is the law, love under will
I am drunk on thy body, in ecstasy bent
To me! To me! The veil be now rent.
Tis I, Tis Nuit! Who am now invoked!
To enfold and en-wrap thee in my star-gemmed cloak!
To Me! To Me! I love thee I sigh!
For mine is the milk of the naked night sky!
Yea, mine is the womb of the lord, Adonai!
Refrain, refrain, etc. Nuit! Nuit! Nuit! etc.
