1. From far-off lands we send our greetings to you,

    though what lies between hearts is near.

  2. Should anyone betray the bonds of love, then my affection

    stands guard against such betrayal, for you, through all time.

  3. And if the water of closeness between you and me runs dry

    for a while—behold, the bough of fidelity is green.
