1. Your absence for two days each week from a sorrowing lover—

    and two days’ separation is deadly to the lovesick youth.

  2. Suppose you are present within my heart: still, for my eye,

    the sight of you is solace, bringing relief from anguish.

  3. And from your blazing light, rays stream

    into my eye, and from it the light flows into my heart.
