1. I see people, some with ties renewed, overfed,
And some whose bonds have dropped, grown lean instead.

2. And I lie down, though sleep does not descend;
Perhaps in dreams her image I'll apprehend.

3. Dreams tell me I can see you once again,
If only dreams could match reality, then!

4. I swear I've never wavered in my love,
Devoted til I die to you, sweet dove.

5. My heart won't bend to any love but yours,
Though people say in time it will be cured.
