1. They inclined towards him, so he persisted, obsessed
With passion for her that set his heart aflame

2. His eyes lay sleepless while hers slumbered
Tears streaming, though she tried to dissuade their flow

3. A moon whose rising no other moon hailed
Except to bow before her splendor and glow

4. Quick to anger, yet pacified just as swift
The beloved, however she turned away in woe

5. Beauty's outline etched on his cheek
A mark envied by those who bear her spite

6. Once his garden felt her absence
But now that she shone within, it was set right
