1. O beauty of allure, be gentle with one in sickness
Who complains of your coldness and indifference

2. Illness has revealed what used to be hidden
So ask the body, if you want to inquire

3. In his sleep a vision of you came to him
And he saw you as he had wished to envision

4. Tongues of torment embrace him for grief
And so he knows no comforter but you
