1. O moon, shining bright
Cast your eyes, do you see

2. Cast your eyes on your likeness in beauty
Perhaps you may attain or inform

3. For I come to you alone with him
And confide in you what I conceal

4. Trash without him and misery
And foxiness and foolishness

5. Prolonged has absence been, and the beloved departed
Neither can I awaken, nor be patient

6. And my heart is comforted with longing
While my eyes reject sleep

7. Oh reproacher in ignorance and injustice
If only you were not, if you cannot excuse
