1. My soul through you a lesson learns
That which ends not still mourns and yearns

2. And though my inner self your ways resisted
I knew you still, my stubbornness persisted

3. I stopped and pondered, felt my tears flow
Down my cheeks, wordlessly my woe

4. I stifled my grief and love of you
Though weeping I wanted to, I withdrew

5. What can tears avail the marching throng?
Just added sorrow to lighten along

6. How can I rest? Nay, be stirred by thought
Of wakeful lover, solace have brought
