1. Her beauty excelled, so eloquence failed
To describe her, no words were availed

2. The beauty pleaded the lovestruck's excuse
To the blamers, all sermons were stilled

3. Naught was revealed to the eyes save
What was grasped in a fleeting glance filled

4. When hearts enmesh with his, naught remains
But their bitter regrets, wishes unfulfilled

5. It matters not if his soft beauty hurts
Even if his heart be harsh and unstilled
