Dearest Pitu Salla, How long will you hide This from me? See, Pitu, How you have torn my heart By not telling me yesterday, Why are you so silent? It may be for my sins That I desire to know. My Dove! do not keep it from me: Who is it that mourns Each instant, within the garden? Speak, my young Dove! Why is it hidden from me? Tell me, beautiful one. She who thus makes her moan, Why may I not see her— Why may I not speak to her?
