1. If you took an hour
Of my life with your company

2. I would be inclined to let you buy
If you would agree to sell

3. And depart with my youth
Determined, can I hope for the sunrise

4. I swore if they returned I would
Meet my youth with their return

5. You refused me, you denied your nearness
And dressed in forbidden remoteness

6. Will you forbid me ribs
That have suffered agony for your sake

7. I have no ambition but tears
And I hold your tears too dear
