1. And a caller I alerted after she despaired
From anguish, and you hid from the fever, an enclosure

2. She wept - if only she wept like me with a lover's tear
Yet far away is the outpouring of tears, another station

3. And we embraced then, so tight was our embrace
As many a withered branch embraces one still green

4. They think the veil conceals her face
Yet the glow of her cheek outshines any veil
