1. Your love has taught my heart to pine,
And kindled longing's fire within my song,

2. Your radiance has illuminated every part,
And so the arid wastes are brightened by its glow.

3. To life you summoned me from death, when you were near,
Though when you left, to death you summoned me anew,

4. My spirit rose in joyful flight to you,
When sweet reunion banished all its fear.

5. A willing slave finds pardon and returns unharmed,
For only in his master rests a slave's true worth.
