1. A lover endured affliction with patience
And a man with insight waded through deep waters

2. So you who in your eyes is my sickness and health
And who holds in your hands my death and life

3. With your love I have lived with sorrows as companions
As if I am their soil and they seek my company

4. So my cheek is a land for tears
And my eyelids a sky pouring down with teardrops
