O graceful swaying Cypress tree

By you, I beg: through union, veil from me
If not for you, your love would hide from me
The face of your aversion, which never grows moist.
Your face of disdain, though it fades not away

Was it not enough that your cheek did ensnare
Because of it—even my tears became roses.
My tears, until they flowed as fragrant as rose's bouquet
