1. My love has been long in his estrangement,
A worshipper wandering amongst the worshippers.

2. I stood to him, raising myself in reproach,
And disclosed what his abandonment had done to my heart.

3. So we let the reproach against him drop,
And turned it into deeds of affection.

4. Let no discontent sprinkle on him,
For the reckoning of distances is invalidated.
