1. O you who are absent, my eyes long to see you
I yearn for nothing in this world but you

2. I am content with you, but would that
I had won your contentment too

3. Would that when you left my sight
all people had died in your stead

4. In your absence I've tasted more bitterness
than your nearness held aloofness

5. I do not blame fate for its rulings
this or that, such and such
