What Do I Owe To You

What do I owe to you,
Beloved,
Who loved me once all night?

You never gave my soul two wings,
Nor sang to me your songs.

Sighing oh, to her I loved above,
Everyone naught else.

And you who loved me then not now,
I once knew her fitted gate;
That led through heaven, it's tall walls.
