You were born
Before I gave you a birth.
You grew, you flourished,
Even you surpassed my height.

Should I treat you, O my Friend,
Or leave your blood to shed?
Thy wounds are deep, so hard to sip
And know not why they are.

You Were Born Before I Gave You A Birth
You were born
Before I gave you a birth.
You grew, you flourished,
Even you surpassed my height.
I thought, I dozed and then I slept,
And you then kept your pace.
Ages rocked, my head was knocked
And I woke
To see you wrapped in red and white.
You heal the soul,
The rest heal bole
Knowing not the tender kernel.
Heal me up, now, I'm so bleed,
My sleep has made me dead!
I knew not, I dare not,
How I gave you birth.
Yes, ...
You were born
Before I gave you a birth!
