1. You left, though your love remained concealed within me,
And I kept it secret, till the secret overwhelmed my heart.

2. And though I found patience bitter, I could not
Find a way with you, into patience my heart could steer.

3. And though I saw my eyes rain tears,
And blood, down my cheeks in currents flow.

4. And when I saw the secret begin to slip from me
I found solace, and the will, in separation to persevere.
