1. I knew longing on earth for the sun
A resident feeling a throb and pulse

2. I knew longing for the circling moon
Like a child circling, never satisfied

3. She is my mother and that her first child
She begot, who was still innocent

4. A youth far from his protector
Yet her nearness as guardian did not please

5. Where is my share of her and you, I come
Between us though I wander ardently too
