1. You are stingy at the dawn of day
Yet generous when night falls

2. The sun makes up for your absence
What righteous deeds have you to show?

3. Your distant specter visits me
As a kinsman, returning, a boon friend

4. Save that completing the pleasure of your company
Was denied me, though yearning remained

5. So I am like one on the Heights, neither
Treading my abode, nor fearing Hell
