1. My soul I'd sacrifice for she
Of beauty most sublime,

2. She swayed, and blossomed the branch
In gracefully motions of time.

3. Her noble name I asked to know,
But she left me in mystery.

4. When angered, she shied away
Like a startled fawn so free.

5. A scroll she tossed my way
Like a secret missive.

6. With a riddle encrypted,
To charm her captive.

7. I broke its seal of musk
Before guests in session.

8. "O lords" I called them
Of insight and discretion.

9. "No words like those of my darling:
Seek life for your soul" she did preach.
