With an excess of love « intensify my perplexity in you »* Pity a heart addressing God kindled by the sparks of your passion If I ask to see you in reality Be in accord and answer not : « you will not see me »**

O, my heart, you had promised patience In His love Beware the feeling of constraint And do not yield to your torments

Love is life itself, to die of this desire Is your right and justification Say to those who loved before me, those who will follow me

And those who now see my pain : Learn from me, do as I do And to the world proclaime my passion
