1. Lovesick and lovesickness has struck
Her tears flowed and graced her cheeks

2. And when she replied, I raised my voice
While the blamer fell silent

3. Worries clung to her
Like beads of dew

4. Woe to me because of her bashfulness
And her sweet, fluent tongue

5. For I was weakened by love of her
As Christians are weakened by the cross

6. She made a promise to me and turned away
A promise that remembering makes one grey

7. As if when she walked away
She was a loving female ostrich in the dunes

8. And as if because of love for her
I am a wolf terrified by a fearful one

9. Women were created unlike her
In type, and she has no equal

10. The adornment of bodies like hers
Can heal the sickness of hearts

11. When I roamed the prairie and the branch of your watching eyes
The roamers returned as if they had no guide
