1. I pine for the star in your horizon
Why do you spurn me so?

2. None know the fires of love in my heart
At first and last but you

3. I said to those blaming you while my tears
Flowed like rain on my cheek

4. Do not blame love in one whose fame
Was never spread among men

5. Estrangement made me deaf and blind
When once I was keen of sight and hearing

6. Ah, would that his sweet temper balm me
Now tinctured essence of camphor

7. Would that his tears once streaming down
My cheek burst forth anew

8. By God, he left one fell day
Though the evil of it was yet unseen

9. May God give you joy therein
And grace you with bliss and cheer

10. And recompense you, seeing you did good
To people, with Heaven and silk

11. Reclining on couches, you behold there
No sun, yet hear no harsh sound

12. You have all you wish for, everlasting,
A great dominion is yours

13. Such is the wage of one whose works were fair
And whose efforts were thanked
