 Now you are mine, to-night at last I say it;
     You're a dove I have bought for sacrifice,
     And to-night I slay1 it.
 
     Here in my arms my naked sacrifice!
     Death, do you hear, in my arms I am bringing
     My offering, bought at great price.
 
     She's a silvery dove worth more than all I've got.
     Now I offer her up to the ancient, inexorable God,
     Who knows me not.
 
     Look, she's a wonderful dove, without blemish2 or
        spot!
     I sacrifice all in her, my last of the world,
     Pride, strength, all the lot.
 
     All, all on the altar! And death swooping3 down
     Like a falcon4. 'Tis God has taken the victim;
     I have won my renown5.
