1. O the full moon's rising glow
And the moist branch's graceful flow

2. Whatever you wished, my love for you
Is not out of distress or wrath

3. If only the one who wept over you when you turned away
Was like the one who weeps over me

4. How many nights after you
Did I call unto the Responder

5. And complained of your abandonment
A stranger's plaint to a stranger

6. The nights of estrangement
Became burdensome sorrows in my heart

7. Darkened in the hue of youth
And worries of aging's days
