1. His tears flowed down
And tore through his roses and garden

2. For I had shot my kisses
Toward him at his unawareness

3. So when slumber shrouded him
The knot of his robe came undone

4. Woe to me, when he sobers
From the flood of his drunkenness

5. I see he will kill me
With some of his tears’ swords

6. Especially now that she had changed
The knot of his skullcap
