1. O you who blame, I have indeed wronged
A lover, though mute he remained

2. Had you known what his heart concealed
You would have shown him mercy

3. Or had you asked what ailed his soul
And learned of his hidden pain

4. You'd say to whom I've caused hurt
"Do not torment or cause him bane"

5. Do not torment or cause him bane
As you would, had you tried to heal
