She has a habit of torture, but doesn't mean to end the love

For my weak heart this living in the sorrow house

Religious people are always praising the Garden of Paradise

Only a few faces show up as roses

I agree that I'm in a cage, and I'm crying

Each time I open my mouth, the Great One says

My heart is becoming restless again

I live with Him–I see His face

My Life had stood–a Loaded Gun

Further in Summer than the Birds

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant–
