1. You made me weep, so I wept
Though I was blameless

2. And you told me to go away from you
So I went away, a companion

3. And had you ordered that I
Spend my life, I would have spent it

4. You let me down, so I was raised up
And you betrayed me, yet I was faithful

5. I obeyed you against my enemies
Yet I disobeyed them all

6. So why did you become angry with me
When I sought your favor

7. Then she smiled and said
You have gone mad, I said, I accept

8. She said, perhaps you refused
To be with me, I said, I refused

9. She said, may my father be bereaved if
You did that, surely I am confused

10. But she persisted with me until
I was bent toward her love
