You have not done me wrong in any way;
I looked everywhere, no blame to be found;
The grave price for love, which I had to pay,
Paid with my whole heart, yet it is still bound:
______________________________________
My soul may suffer, but do not worry;
When I grieve, work and prayer becomes my life;
Do not fret your mind, do not feel guilty.
Through this trial, I am tempered by strife:
____________________________________
Before all else, I desired your best;
All that I did was not for me, but you
Now that I lack hope, shall I ever rest?
Despite it all, my one-way love reigns true:
____________________________________
Against this tide of depression, I stand;
Lamenting, I shall never hold your hand.
