Silence is what I fear my dear lover
Forgive me for my frail love
Tempted I was so blinded by the bond of lust
My mouth have i not bridled before you,
My heart I shut that you may not be near,
My songs have I sang in another dialect that you may not understand, my nakedness have i put out in the street that you may be ashamed.
Cover me now for I see your pain
shield me now that i might know no hurt
Calm me now for I am raged at the cruelty of men
For they have showed me logic without action
They have flattered me with their mouth but their heart says a different thing
Forgive me for I want them no more
Help me that I might close my eyes in a peaceful rest
