Certain that I am wasted and gravely ill,
With confidence though I am frail and slight
you turned away—sure, too, that people know my love for you better;
I approached, and people through you I know best

and that I, whenever you are absent from every soul weakened
And that when you are absent from all the weak
by longing, he calls your name, crying out forever. [The syntax here is unclear.]
With yearning your name time cries out and attests

Where can I go to escape the beauty of your face?
To where can I from your beauty’s radiance flee
And where can I find a way to turn from it when it appears?
And from it to where can I turn when it manifests

In every limb, love is lodged,
In every limb ardent love resides ensconced
and in every limb, tears stream.
And in every limb copious tears rain and cascade
