1. Tears scattered, their necklace undone,
While passion held its necklace fast.

2. Oh passion, what aloofness in you
That makes reproach your guardian!

3. Were it not for the wine of his saliva,
Ecstasy would not have made him drunk.

4. A mouth lawful to sacrifice for,
So why should its honey be forbidden?

5. The cold of estrangement did not cloak me
While the cold of your tears did cloak it.

6. Of passion I complain -
It went on doing what his cheek did.

7. It did not know what rejection was
Until its rose blossomed.
