Sol 5.6

  1. This is a letter written in the tears of my eyes,

    dictated by my heart onto my fingertips,

  2. to a beloved whom I veiled in allusion—

    his name too exalted for my tongue to utter.

  3. I had kept my love for him folded away within me

    since the bygone days of old.

  4. But I confessed when my affliction lingered,

    and I had no power to withstand it.
