1. They call upon my heart, and love responds
And the heart, when called, has a response

2. Yearning, summoned by longing, rapture and passion
Answers the call of love, for it is noble

3. My heart endures rapture and love unceasing
So how could it turn away if the beloved is unkind?

4. If the loved ones err in ordering their state
Then my heart is always apt to make amends

5. Knowing secrets of love, for it is
Insightful of the cures for affection, a healer

6. It communes with me in secret and feigns aloofness openly
Such are its wondrous deeds, a marvel
