| Paradise watering the flowers who look upon you | B |
| As infants look upon the breast of their mothers | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Or are you in your chamber where the shrine of | D |
| Virtue has been placed in your honor and upon | E |
| Which you offer my heart and soul as sacrifice | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Or amongst the books seeking human knowledge | G |
| While you are replete with heavenly wisdom | H |

| Oh companion of my soul where are you Are you | B |
| Praying in the temple Or calling Nature in the | I |
| Field haven of your dreams | J |

| Do you have memory of the day we met when the halo of | D |
| You spirit surrounded us and the Angels of Love | D |
| Floated about singing the praise of the soul's deed | O |
| - | |
| - | |
| Do you recollect our sitting in the shade of the | I |
| Branches sheltering ourselves from Humanity as the ribs | P |
| Protect the divine secret of the heart from injury | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Remember you the trails and forest we walked with hands | Q |
| Joined and our heads leaning against each other as if | R |
| We were hiding ourselves within ourselves | S |
| - | |
| - | |
| Recall you the hour I bade you farewell | T |
| And the Maritime kiss you placed on my lips | U |
| That kiss taught me that joining of lips in Love | D |
| Reveals heavenly secrets which the tongue cannot utter | V |
| - | |
| - | |
| That kiss was introduction to a great sigh | W |
| Like the Almighty's breath that turned earth into man | X |
| - | |
| - | |
| That sigh led my way into the spiritual world | Y |
| Announcing the glory of my soul and there | M |
| It shall perpetuate until again we meet | Z |

| I remember when you kissed me and kissed me | L |
| With tears coursing your cheeks and you said | A2 |
| Earthly bodies must often separate for earthly purpose | B2 |
| And must live apart impelled by worldly intent | C2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| But the spirit remains joined safely in the hands of | D |
| Love until death arrives and takes joined souls to God | D2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| Go my beloved Love has chosen you her delegate | E2 |
| Over her for she is Beauty who offers to her follower | V |
| The cup of the sweetness of life | F2 |
| As for my own empty arms your love shall remain my | W |
| Comforting groom you memory my Eternal wedding | G2 |

| Where are you now my other self Are you awake in | H2 |
| The silence of the night Let the clean breeze convey | I2 |
| To you my heart's every beat and affection | J2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| Are you fondling my face in your memory That image | G |
| Is no longer my own for Sorrow has dropped his | K2 |
| Shadow on my happy countenance of the past | L2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| Sobs have withered my eyes which reflected your beauty | L |
| And dried my lips which you sweetened with kisses | N |
| - | |
| - | |
| Where are you my beloved Do you hear my weeping | G2 |
| From beyond the ocean Do you understand my need | O |
| Do you know the greatness of my patience | M2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| Is there any spirit in the air capable of conveying | G2 |
| To you the breath of this dying youth Is there any | L |
| Secret communication between angels that will carry to | B |
| You my complaint | N2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| Where are you my beautiful star The obscurity of life | F2 |
| Has cast me upon its bosom sorrow has conquered me | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Sail your smile into the air it will reach and enliven me | L |
| Breathe your fragrance into the air it will sustain me | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Where are you me beloved | O2 |
| Oh how great is Love | D |
| And how little am I | W |
