I love my beloved, she did not love me
Poured my life out for her, she would not receive
I love my beloved, gave myself to her
She refused to love me, me she did not see.
I love my beloved, she chose him instead
He would only use her, she chose him again
I love my beloved, he caused only pain
He sought to abuse her, and for her I bled.
I love my beloved, so for her I prayed
Wept bitterly for her, she would not remain
I love my beloved, and yet she would stray
Showed my love by fasting, all alone I stayed.
I love my beloved, offered her my back
From all harm I kept her, bleeding on the ground
I love my beloved, shield her from the storm
When they tried to hurt her, I laid on the rack.
I love my beloved, she wove me a crown
Her lover laughed and mocked, suffring' without sound
I love my beloved, I said not a word
She placed it on my head, blood dripped all around.
I love my beloved, blood oozed from my scalp
Without a sound she stood, standing there to watch
I love my beloved, burden large I bore
Lifted not a finger, never tried to help.
I love my beloved, begged her to return
Beloved gave a cross, told me to get on
I gladly did as asked, then she moved along
She shook her head then fled, for him she did yearn.
I love my beloved, fixed me to the cross
Upon the cross I wept, for she had been lost
I love my beloved, for her sake I died
Then the world grieved with me, such a heavy cost.
I love my beloved, she refused to see
I love my beloved, gave myself to her
I love my beloved, her heart did not stir
I love my beloved, she did not love me.
