1. The passion I felt has grown beyond bounds
What was once fanciful love is now serious and profound

2. Once sturdy, love has left me frail
As passion still makes the sturdy fail

3. So do not wonder that your weakness overcame my might
For in love many a doe has conquered lions in fight

4. You've won my heart and now have more right to me
I'm now your slave, no longer my own, you see

5. Your love runs through my life, and to lose you
Is to lose my life, your loss I never knew
