Lightest of trifles lover's blood to him
Who wastes the vitals of the hapless wight!
For him I'm jealous of my sight and thought;
My heart acts spy upon my thought and sight:
Those longlashed eyelids rain on me their shafts
Guileful,destroying hearts where'er they light:
Now,while my portion in the world endures,
Shall I behold him ere I quit worldsite?
What bear I for his sake I'd hide,but tears
Betray my feelings to the spy's despight.
When near,our union seemeth ever far;
When far,my thoughts to him aye nearest are.'
