1. To you my gift, and my heart is lovelorn
Its dwelling becomes it, and it still dreams

2. And my soul wished that my gift would become you
So we live with our two souls together delighted

3. And if my kingdom with its seas and pearls
I would send you the pearls smiling

4. And if I gifted you an orchard vast
Filled with all the heart contains, it would have spoken

5. And if I gave you the stars as a gift
And they shone proudly in your light, sighing

6. And if I gifted you poetry singing your praises
My verses with your attributes ring

7. Gaining approval however much I gave would please me
Though I’m deficient, I remain pained
