Temptation
Do not tempt me so with this life
I have left all behind
It was too much to be a perfect wife
It had become one big strife
The stone wheel in which my soul did grind
Do not tempt me so with this life
Amongst these mountains I do not strive
No chains are here that could bind
It was too much to be a perfect wife
Idle life, why do I yearn for a busy hive
I have left behind mankind
Do not tempt me so with this life
My raging mind in tranquil pool did dive
Peace and enchantment here combined
It was too much to be a perfect wife
My soul seems dead not alive
Oh why did I leave behind mankind
Do not tempt me so with this life
It was too much to be a perfect wife
