1. The goodness of loyalty and the truth of love are stricken down
And find desolation through my betrayal and perfidy.

2. Both suffer from an illness beyond remedy -
Grief for what is right and just since they were cast aside.

3. Yet I see that healing lies in patience,
And patience, best of all I try, is fruitless.

4. So make use of patience, for patience falls
Gently on hearts wherever patience lands.

5. O masters, left behind when we were parted,
Answer the call of one who loves with longing.

6. Remote from the radiance of your faces, I'm hurt,
And your disdain has severed my heart with a cut.
