1. The earth is ornate
And the air is bubbly and joyful

2. Smiling at the spread of steadfast love
And the rose is a blooming pearl

3. More beautiful than any blooming pearl
But in my eyes there is agony

4. From the light of settled old age
When I cried blood tears

5. For the lover now gone
Old age laughed in my face

6. The laugh of the gloating deceiver
