O Lord! I have become weary of human assemblages!
When the heart is sad no pleasure in assemblages can be
I seek escape from tumult, my heart desires
The silence which speech may ardently love!

Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred,
Promoted thence to deck her mistress' head;
Next for some gracious service unexpress'd,
And from its wages only to be guess'd

Lily! lady of the garden!
Let me press my lip to thine!
Love must tell its story, Lily!
Listen thou to mine.

Round me now, beneath the weeping willow,
Night's refreshing breezes blow;
Anguish drove me from a sleepless pillow
Hours and hours ago.

And catch me when I fall?
Will you hold me when I need
To feel the warmth of your touch?

He is always standing by me
When i am in trouble
Listens to the cry of my heart
A safe shelter, and like a medicine

That gay one who is the abode of virtue
Incessantly murmurs thy name,
On hearing a word of thee
His limbs are pervaded by a thrill,

What a fire burns on, O confidante,
What a fire it is!
My eyes are filled with tears, O confidante
What a fire burns in my heart!

Ah lady! ah lady! hear a word,
At length having seen (him) I have come again;
Looking, looking, (my) pain increased,
Whatever was done profited not.
...
Don't forbid confidante,
since I have welcomed him;
death I have surrendered to him
to take the pains of death.
...
Pour your heart out to me
Don't keep it bottled up inside
'Twill fester and will poison you
Until a part of you has died.
...
Day by day
Night by night
I find myself loving you more and more
Every song I sing,

A bond was made as your eyes shone,
Beauteous red-haired daughter of Peleus,
My confidante and companion.

How on earth could I decide
who would stand to guard and guide

Mimi gone, there’s no rising & falling voice

In your embrace, my shelter, my pride.

With streamlined carcass; And vision focused
Startling both assailant; And confidante alike

Encouraging smiles
Generous letters
Across the miles

O, ocean, my fluid confidante
Soothing me in times of uncertainty
Sprinkling her brown sugar sand on my wounds
As she gently blows my hair away from my eyes

Always together my pen paper and I.

He's old now, forgotten.
A distant memory in an age that doesn't care.
He sees the world through one glass eye
That hangs too loosely by a single thread.

A cartographer's cherished reward;

Chattering, giggling on she goes
Over the rocks and down the hill
From the spring she has drunk her fill.
Bubbling, tinkling along she flows
On her back a leaf she carries
Swift and sure she never tarries.
