what avails love when life is so ephemeral?
what avails a mortal's love for the immortal
love that is snuffed out by death's passing blast
the love without the pain, the passion that consumes,
A flickering spark I am, aglow for a fleeting glance
flow for a flickering spark, to chase an eternal flame!
Grant me the bliss of eternal life,O Lord!
and mine will be the ecstasy of eternal love,
Give me the pleasure of everlasting pain
An agony that lacerates my soul forever
