| And the poplar sheds disconsolate leaves | B |
| Tell me again why love bewitches | B |

| It is the trembling finger that traces | B |
| The eyebrow s curve the curve of the cheek | C |
| The mouth that quivers when the hand caresses | B |
| But cannot speak | C |

| No not these not in these is hidden | D |
| The secret more than in other things | B |

| A twig on the path a look of loathing | I |
| Feelings that pass | B |

| These are the secret And I could hate you | H |
| When as I lean for another kiss | B |
| I see in your eyes that I do not meet you | H |
| And that love is this | B |

| Rock meeting rock can know love better | G |
| Than eyes that stare or lips that touch | J |
| All that we know in love is bitter | G |
| And it is not much | J |
