1. O past that I have entrusted
To a grave shrouded in death

2. O poetry that I have buried
Swearing never to recite poetry after it

3. O heart that I have torn apart
Screaming, your covenant, O heart, has ended

4. I swear none of you has died
It is but a slumber of despair

5. Oh, if only a beseeching messenger
Or an intercessor among you would go to her

6. Oh, if only a bird that has forgotten
All nests but hers would tell her
