This is ridiculously idiomatic, so I don't know if it'll help, but this is what I came up with:

Give it all your time!
Cherish it to the point of tears,
Even its upsets have charms,
All is good for lovers.

Tranquil indifference
Gives only boring pleasures
But what gifts love dispenses
For the price of first sighs!
Love births hope
As well as desire.
