He weeps, and so the tears water his cheek,
He weeps, so tears water his cheek,
as dew waters a tender rose.
as the dew watered a tender rose.

When the sidelock curls over his cheek,
When his sidelock curls over his cheek,
you would take it for an apple bearing a bite.
you would think it an apple bearing a bite mark.
