1. With a tender moment my lover revived me
After the long slumber of my eyelids

2. With his kiss of passion he granted me leave
To forget my garden after the years it deprived me

3. From his cheeks I plucked roses that then sprang up
In a fateful glance that showered and pierced me

4. I complained of my tormentor’s cruelty to me
God answered "May He repay the wrongdoer"

5. I know not which of us in this love intended
By word and deed to ravish and entrance me
