1. Peace be upon you, though seeing you
Would heal me of passion and despair.

2. I try to avoid your love with patience,
Yet find no rest, nor bend from care.

3.
My heart is enthralled by its longing,

4. No other beauty can it concede.
Fluttering, though you could make it calm,

5. None else it would heed.

6. Sickly, though you could make it well
With your kindness, from its chronic ill.

7. When you stand to my right, it leans
Lightly to my blessed side.
