1. Between nectar and wild rue
And dawn in the morning

2. Refresh the soul with ease
And seize the cream of time

3. Lovely cups with ruby sheen
Filled with pure wine

4. Pressed from vine
In the garden of the vintner

5. Among roses and Spring
The scent of wine delights me

6. From the bending boughs
So pardon me, you who pardon

7. And hush the gossipy words
If my illness and leanness

8. In love, all wishes
Leave me to my tears

9. Of one who's miserly with loyalty
It's God's decree, my misery

10. In his love and my disgrace
He owns my soul and being

11. His glance beckons me
And calls my heart insistently

12. I do not resist when called
The day we parted was hard

13. It was hard to leave
So remind me of reunions

14. And pour me the wine of song
Oh nights of intimacy, return

15. With a fair and slim beloved
Defeat the army of rejecters

16. And string the pearls of affection
