Visions new the eyes do seek
life's beauty undiscovered
to burden ease and heart to please
oh unrequited lover.
Hobbled mind and spirit torn
seek love not from another
thy gifts within let healing begin
oh unrequited lover.
As thou has loved at greatest height
in depth so shall ye suffer
with tears of pain the saddest rain
oh unrequited lover.
And as these clouds shall one day pass
tis then you shall discover
the world is love in all your view
oh unrequited lover.
inspired by the poems of Hafiz, Suffi poet, 1320-1389
