ANONYMOUS – It’s true

It’s true

It's true.

I have left my mistresses and wine behind

and love’s delirium,

and have abandoned myself to my Lord.

My pleasures were long-lasting

but now He firmly holds my hand

within His law.

Today, wine is a crime,

and you,

are against His law;

but when I remember

this and that ... and your smile,

I must leave my Lord behind for ever.
