1. A heart that long concealed its passion
Has again been seized by love's obsession

2. My tranquil soul it shook and overcame
And mounted me as mounts the waving branch the vine

3. Suns rose in Nu'man, radiant lights of day
That clothed the dawn in Nu'man's bright array

4. A languid doe I spied amid their shine
Who dragged me to perdition's steep decline

5. Before her I was mighty, now I bow
Brought low and humbled by her love, as low as now
