Description:

First, She played a sweet melody upon me
Finally, She broke me with a thousand sorrows

Like a chess player, She moved me as Her pawn
When I became entirely Her, She discarded me

"First, He played a sweet melody upon me": This line suggests that God initially showered the speaker with blessings and favors.
Finally, He broke me with a thousand sorrows": This line indicates a shift in the speaker's experience, from joy to sorrow.
Like a chess player, He moved me as His pawn": This line implies that the speaker was being manipulated or guided by a higher power.
When I became entirely Him, He discarded me": This line suggests a state of complete union with the divine, followed by a sense of detachment or abandonment.
