1. I have granted you the noblest gifts denied
And asked of you the easiest things to provide

2. Yet your reply leaves me in despair
While "yes" from you would let hope there reside

3. So grant me yes or no, my master
That this longing may find peace inside

4. Be it sweet relief or painful yearning
Tormenting me, my heart rapt and tied

5. I'll wait until fate brings what's deserved
And my love gets what he's bound to derive
