1. I bear the burden of praise's adornment
Why do I see you today spurn my adornment?

2. As if you wrote not to me openly
Without riddles in what you drafted or symbols

3. I will be gentle in a coat of praise donning
By which is taken a while by plucking and then by shearing

4. So it's taken from some people by kindness wooing
And it's taken from some people if opposed by invading

5. None is left to oppose but you, so fulfill for me
For you, as you have reddened my face with resistance
