1. I have lost all passion but for the sadness of my broken heart,
With which I wander aimlessly in field and orchard.

2. Far from friends, I weep for their long absence,
And linger though my vigils offer no relief.

3. Alas, my songs are like lines time's hand erased,
Leaving no trace of letters for these empty pages.

4. Suns I adored, dispersing the gloom with their light,
Have set, eclipsed by the fates, in endless night.

5. Parting was ours, though together we were so blessed.
But time, always changing, allows no lasting rest.

6. I loved a fawn whose face was beauty's morning,
With a spellbinding glance and gait so lightly gliding.

7. Indifference in his eyes helped him betray me,
When I sought aid from one so frail and pliant.

8. I offer my soul to him in anger or acceptance.
Blest am I if I'm tried and meet with patience.

9. Euphrates! With your cool waters bring me comfort.
Without you are spears of cane and naked blades.

10. My heart is afire with yearning until you soothe it.
Have mercy! Do not abandon the brokenhearted!
