1. I see estrangement, though you evoke estrangement in me,
For hearts are moved by what they are reminded of.

2. And verily the sky, when it lightens,
Becomes, after its lightning, rain pouring.

3. I fear for you, though you have no fear,
You who are obeyed in all you command.

4. And the soul's flaw after remorse
Is but the pride in one who forgives.
