1. Like the night that never ends
So too my torment knows no respite

2. The world is devoid of what I seek
For reunion there is no cause

3. Before it ambitions pale
Veils block the way

4. I saw the wretched, all equal
Despairing though they never asked

5. Of passion naught remains except
A wish, counted as good deed

6. Save that, for life itself
I blame my impulses and whims
