1. O heavy is your love for me
With worries long and ceaseless be

2. In my heart is a piercing thorn
That cannot help but cause me scorn

3. All virtue in this world forlorn
Is found in you, of this I'm sworn

4. How can I from your love break free?
Where can I find an escape, tell me?

5. My love for you has brought me woe
At a loss for words, I do not know

6. By God, a heavy weight you'll always be
By God, a heavy weight you'll always be
