1. My body does not blame me for longing to see you,
Yet my heart leaps eagerly towards you.

2. How can a longing lover sit still
When passion and hope spur him to you?

3. If I get up, I have no other goal but you,
If I sit still, I have no other thought but you.

4. Had I any substitute, I'd not have chosen another,
How could that be when I have no other but you?

5. Many came to me before you,
Asking leave into my heart, but none ever entered.
