1. I did not fear one with whom I confide
a secret, nor did I feel compelled to caution.

2. Should one who has not seen you live in hope?
My soul is sated of company and of sight.

3. Yearning has secured fidelity for me
from the keeper of my troth, a secret of fate.

4. So rain has come between him and me-
May God avenge me upon the rain!
