My love, where have you been?
Why did you hold back the light
And ignore the cry of my heart?
Where you aren't, darkness is.
Where you aren't, emptiness abides--
Only love could fill the vacuum your absence brings.
For years I've seen many gray clouds, 
Not only at the sky, but also in my mind.
My eyes have seen people tread lustful ways --
They chase dark shades and shun bright lights.
Oh, I beseech thee, dearly beloved,
Draw close to me and in my heart sink.
Let the shining light of your love
Forever be my guide.
