1. I am the one who met them where the valleys lie
And now avoids and fears their fickleness

2. And where about his love he asked of them
They said your lover is sick, and so I told them

3. I am the one whose love was cause of his fever
Be not surprised that the blaze was part of me

4. And worldly fire is like my body's limb
Since he visited when love all my skin did sear

5. I embraced him though fire raged in my liver
So that fire did mark him, and he caught aflame
