1. How wonderful were my night with them and morning without,
No wonderful morning after parting.

2. When friends called to each other at dawn,
Disturbingly, so tears flowed from eyelids,

3. And cheeks touched cheeks in farewell,
And necks embraced each other,

4. And teary eyes and hearts,
Filled on the day of parting with embers.

5. Would that I knew, will kinship ever again,
Unite us after purpose, would that I knew!
