1. Speak your mind freely, do not restrain
My heart bears no grudge or disdain

2. Say what you will, your harsh words
Cannot stir my tranquility sane

3. If you wrong me, I'll not complain
My heart still holds affection and warmth for you plain

4. If you sever my fingers in disdain
I'll offer them to you, not in vain

5. Think not I'm weak, helpless and small
Do as you please, I'll endure it all

6. Can you think I hold such thoughts dim?
Your radiant face illuminates all within

7. My heart constrained until we meet again
Tormented by separation and pain

8. Let's spend our life in joyful refrain
And gather in days of peace and gain

9. Why stay apart when you are so kind?
This separation offers no heal or bind

10. May God preserve what remains
Of our life, and make it grow and sustain

11. For life is a fleeting shade
Ever vanishing as nights and days fade

12. You, my beloved, deserve all acclaim
From those who cherish you, pure and sane
