1. O rose, it is not the roses of gardens that I seek—

    the roses of your cheek revive me after death.

  2. Had a remedy for my aching heart been known anywhere,

    I would not have said, “O my heart’s desire, heal me through union.”

  3. How long will he torment me with fire, O my soul,

    while the fire of your love sears me with longing?

  4. O Lord, through her abandonment my body has become

    more delicate than my verse about her—and than my faith.

Sol 5.6
