Astrild (from Old Norse: "Love-fire") is an old Nordic name for Amor or Cupid. Astrild probably originated in the writings of the 17th-century Swedish poet Georg Stiernhielm, and has since been used in Nordic poetry, mainly during the Baroque and Rococo eras. Astrild does not appear in Norse mythology; even though the name was used before Stiernhielm as a synonym for the estrildid finches.

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hotblooded human
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you
You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd
But you
You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like before
But this
Is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you [Incomprehensible]
