1. His cheek was watered by the finest wine
That left no weakness that could change his mind

2. The wind blew gently through his dwelling
Like musk it spread its scent around each corner

3. The abode of love for me has always been a burden
O you of singular beauty, remembering you makes me yearn

4. I miss you though you're in my heart, and I'm not
Distant that I'd forget and need to be reminded

5. I protect him from the youths I'm tasked to watch over
For him my long nights awake I suffer

6. He wrongs me though I'm innocent, and strangely
I see the wrong as kindness and am thankful

7. Who can help me when he reigns supreme
Over the hearts of lovers, his beauty their regime

8. When he sings and sways, his glances shine white
His stature amidst tumult shows darkness of night

9. Not once did I complain of his watcher's cruelty
Except his brow would swiftly turn to stare at me
