1. O name, if my youth
Had lingered with you longer

2. And you took me to task
For sins I had no power to avoid

3. My steps faltered
And I feared where they would lead

4. Youth has passed and my means
Now I have no means

5. You favored me the day we parted
And bore for us a heavy burden

6. And in saying farewell you made
My ailing soul suffer on the day of separation

7. And you granted me a gift
I had never hoped to obtain

8. It is much for one who bears estrangement
Yet to me it is so little
