To love you rehearsed my lips
Left to utter harsh words
To kiss you rehearsed my lips!

To touch you I rehearsed my fingers
I bathed them in the clear water of the fountains
To let you rehearsed my fingers!

And life went on, was going
And, by dint of waiting for your coming
Each arm did dumb cypress
Life went on, was going
And never came!
it was passing

To hear you rehearsed my ears!
I began to hear the voices of silence
To hear you rehearsed my ears!

And life went on, was going
And, by dint of waiting for your coming
Each arm did dumb cypress
Life went on, was going
And never came!
it was passing
