In shadows cast by your desire, pain takes root,
What love is this, that brings forth tears, a burning heart?
Aching for you,
In shadows cast by your desire, pain takes root,
What love is this, that brings forth tears, a burning heart?
Are these wishes, or a madness deep?
My heart cannot discern,
In shadows cast by your desire, pain takes root.
I wanted you, thought of you,
Held you within my soul's keep,
On every branch of feeling,
I wrote your scent, so deep.
Oh, oblivious one, you did not,
Consider me your own.
Beloved, this heedlessness of yours,
Does it not lead my life astray?
In shadows cast by your desire, pain takes root,
What love is this, that brings forth tears, a burning heart?
