1. A lover I can't forget
Made my heart his dwelling place

2. He distanced himself from me and left
Yet in dreams I'd see his face

3. In wakefulness, forms arise
Of the distant one, resembling his grace

4. Reminding me of him who turned away
With memories my soul they embrace

5. In the garden, flowers bloom
That mimic him in shape and trace

6. In the roses, his charm does bloom
In the flowers, his visage I trace

7. When the nightingale sings his song
His longing plaintively finds its place

8. Affection in the bird's nature
And kindness from his manners I trace

9. Oh you who from my eyes went far
Your beauty was their gazing place

10. The beauties of this life
Are a book you give meaning and grace
