Of what I've lost?

This strange devotion's custom: faith itself forgot,
What shall I say, what shall I say?

Beholding the afflicted, forgot the cure,
What shall I say, what shall I say?

Such tears have fallen on love's path, time and again,
Such tears have fallen on love's path, time and again,

All else, save love's embrace, has faded hence,
What shall I say of what remains,
Of what I've lost?
What shall I say, what shall I say?
