1. My love for you is fruitless and in vain,
Neither tears flowing help lessen my pain.

2. Patience made weak by love's agony,
Complaints silenced forcibly.

3. A year passed with you distant and aloof,
Its dawns forever weeping with grief.

4. Since you left, the cup complains of thirst,
The meadow's buds all shriveled and curst.

5. Today, a young heart bears your sorrow,
More gentle than the valley's breeze at morrow.
