1. By my father you hate
You, though you weren't hateful

2. An answer came from you
That contradicted the promise

3. You aren't sick, but
I reckon affection is sick

4. And you definitely missed some amusement
You aren't compensating for it

5. And a lady resembled in the
Glass a reddish gem

6. And a tale and a poem
Youthfully rhymed and scanned

7. And the coo of a song
Surpassed the delicate cooing

8. If your eyes saw from a lo
ver a charming glance

9. And clear curves
Like daughters of white pearls

10. I almost from intensity of longing
And infatuation faded

11. And if I knew the grave concealed
You I'd hasten to rise
