1. Time granted me no reprieve from longing's grip
Except my longing outstripped all time could give

2. O you whom I've wronged in this world and the next
Do you see a home for me but the fire's pit?

3. My heart enters the flames in this life on earth
And my body enters the fires in the world's berth

4. Most wretched am I, awaiting and in sight
Of whom my weak soul desires, almighty in might

5. If God does not forgive my trespasses in full
I ask God's pardon, most veiling and forgiving
