Love, you wicked source of my tireless yearnings,
Why do you perplex me so?
Have mercy sweet dagger!
Draw your tempest away from thy servant,
Give me relief, I beg of you...
For this man stands before you
Ready to grasp loves glorious reigns,
Eager to embark on loves sweet journey.
Take me to thy fulfilled desire,
Find in me your servant devoted,
Share with me this joy, this splendor,
This rapture called love...
Envelope me in loves beauty
Drink with me the wine of ecstasy
Peel away these hollow yearnings,
Reveal me.
