Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GBHA CIJ DKLAM| The end was quick and bitter | A |
| Slow and sweet was the time between us | B |
| slow and sweet were the nights | C |
| when my hands did not touch one another in despair but in the love | D |
| of your body which came | E |
| between them | F |
| - | |
| And when I entered into you | G |
| it seemed then that great happiness | B |
| could be measured with precision | H |
| of sharp pain Quick and bitter | A |
| - | |
| Slow and sweet were the nights | C |
| Now is bitter and grinding as sand | I |
| 'Let's be sensible' and similiar curses | J |
| - | |
| And as we stray further from love | D |
| we multiply the words | K |
| words and sentences so long and orderly | L |
| Had we remained together | A |
| we could have become a silence | M |
