1. Many a night have I passed sleepless,
Many a tear have I shed,

2. Much sorrow have I borne,
With a love I kept hidden,

3. If death were to taste the bitterest
Of people in love, I would have tasted it,

4. By the One who cares not
If I am absent from him or with him,

5. I am of the most passionate of God's creation for Him,
I have had an eye on Him since I knew Him.
