1. How long this estrangement, when will it end?
Love's fire still burns, patience near spent.

2. Strength I once knew is no longer within,
While steadfastness falters, life's burdens prevent.

3. More than a rock could endure I now bear,
Though advise may help, my mind will not hear.

4. Why expect mercy from one who condemns?
When in love, my excuse should serve to defend.

5. My eyes, your time of generosity is now,
So flow forth, for you both are seas I endow.
