1. We have folded the covenant of hope in despair
After your delusions and obsessions deceived me

2. A false fatherhood for you passed by
And I thought the branches were like the root

3. We hoped in you for fairness, but
The fabric was ruined by the corruption of fairness

4. I did not imagine that the essence of pure gold
Could produce an ingot of copper

5. If we attributed to the generous their flaws
We would patch silk with coarse fabric

6. We planted blame in the soul when you slipped away
From the noble nurturing

7. If you forget or neglect, no apology,
For the anxious is not forgetful
