1. No patience remains to me; yet

    parting has left sorrows within my heart.

  2. You gave me distance in exchange for the nearness of one

    who once had been a consolation for my sorrow;

  3. he was companionship to me in my loneliness,

    and was repose and sweet basil to me.

  4. O full moon, how swiftly Time filled me with misgiving

    about union with you, though it had not betrayed me.

  5. You vanished, and sleep vanished from my eye;

    your dream-vision inflicted estrangement upon me.

  6. Through you, the world was paradise for us;

    then it soured the delight of our life in this world.
