Torn between confused doubts and certitude

2. I complain to you of suspicions though
My thoughts may have faulted me before you

3. I see innocence and purity in you so
My fantasies and doubts turn away from me

4. And I live for an hour in your beauty's world

That flows between eyelids and glances

7. And I feel from the joy of meeting, a bliss
That makes me forget my time and longing

8. Until it is time to bid farewell, and the
Phantom of parting looms with its sorrows

9. I sent before you my tear, and it is
In the tongue of love, an ode of the anguished
