Verse Dedicated to a Sad Girlfriend (Continued)

When, again and again, when in a grey hour

Clouds knit your pale forehead

Remember that I alone

In the whole world love you sincerely

            The little bird is sad when they clip her wings

            But sadder is that girl who loves in vain

            Remember me, how that moist earth

            Forever presses on my heart

            Remember me when a lonely lily

            Shines over [my] grave like a goblet

Like a wildflower bends down the ear [of grain]

Thus, I beg you, give me a kiss

            May disease torment you forever

            May patient toil oppress you

            May every guy abandon you

            May your [own] ideal[1] abandon you
