A LOVE SONG

A Love Song
By Jehudah Halevi
LET my sweet song be pleasing unto Thee—
The incense of my praise—
O my Belovèd that art flown from me,
Far from mine errant ways!
(But I have held the garment of His love,
Seeing the wonder and the might thereof.)
The glory of Thy Name is my full store—
Enough for all the pain wherein I strove:
Increase my sorrow:—I will love Thee more!
Marvellous is Thy love!
