1. The nights have kept me awake
After me, someone else you'll take

2. Only a ghost of me remains
Not the body God had made

3. Like the waning moon was I
With beauty faded, gone astray

4. A youth called you in agony
His heart by yearning set ablaze

5. In tears, his eyes did drown
Calling out her name as he lays

6. You punish those who steal a glance
If their eyes dare to gaze your way

7. Why scorn those who your beauty praised
Whose eyes on you did gently graze

8. You may reveal to us your charm
While we quietly your gaze appraise

9. Your hand lit love’s spark in my heart
And set my soul forever ablaze
