1. Why have I seen you lose affection for me
And betray me, breaking your vow?

2. You have wronged my heart with passion
Unjustly with burning agony and yearning

3. And you have made my eyes weep
Pausing at my tears and sleeplessness

4. And I see harm from you
When you do wrong as though it were kindness to me

5. So I conceal my love for you
My youth and the tears that reveal it

6. I have come to you with intention
Hopefully you know the rightness of my aim

7. My hopes cling to the hem of your mercy
Excuse them with a promise

8. My longing for you, as you know
Transcends limits and bounds
