1. For ravens crying at dawn
With beloveds' separation, your tears overflow

2. Yes, my eyes shed copious tears
As prose from loose pearls clash and flow

3. Oh raven of separation, hush no more
From your throat's clefts a slayer may come

4. Frightening the hearts of lovesick souls
If from lamenting you cease and cry

5. Leave love impartial, vacant
Be a man, determined as one who stampedes
