Alas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?

Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

Lovers, forget your love And list to the love of these. She a window flower. And he a winter breeze.

When your heart turns cold, it causes your soul to freeze.

I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal. Trying to find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.
