The text consists of only two words that have been broken down into Their component phonemes, gradually being presented in The correct order by The end of this very atmospheric piece.  

Endless pleasure, endless love, Semele enjoys above! On her bosom Jove reclining, Useless now his thunder lies ; To her arms his bolts resigning, And his lightning to her eyes.

The late year lies down The north. All is healed, all is health. High summer holds The earth. Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining Night I weep for wonder Wandering far alone Of shadows on The stars. 在這星影環繞 閃亮的夜晚， 仁慈必看顧我 在地球的這一端。 北國的歲暮， 萬物皆復甦。 盛夏臨據大地， 我重拾完整的心。 在這閃亮夜晚， 我為奇蹟落淚 獨自漫步 在星影下。  less
