Now I am come again, you who have so desired
My coming, why do you look away from me?
Why does your cheek burn against me�have I inspired
Such anger as sets your mouth unwontedly?
Ah, here I sit while you break the music beneath
Your bow; for broken it is, and hurting to hear:
Cease then from music�does anguish of absence bequeath
Me only aloofness when I would draw near?
