1. My tears are enough if my situation is dire
My memory of a merciful one who knows not

2. And I fear revealing my affection
Lest her lover becomes jealous and suspicious

3. Thus I would have caused our separation
And undermined my efforts so diligently

4. And a group would blame me for loving her
They know not my burning passion and my agony

5. They know not the truth of love, so they succeeded
Had they experienced it, they'd see my excuse

6. I do hate all those patient
With their affection, in union or separation

7. Patience is seemly in its proper places
Not for the longing lover - what's patience to him?
