1. With confidence though I am frail and slight
I approached, and people through you I know best

2. And that when you are absent from all the weak
With yearning your name time cries out and attests

3. To where can I from your beauty’s radiance flee
And from it to where can I turn when it manifests

4. In every limb ardent love resides ensconced
And in every limb copious tears rain and cascade
