Canticles Five and Six

Faint with love! I missed the moment When my King was at the door Groggy slept While He was knocking Kept my feet from freezing floor Finally rose To catch the visit But my Love was sadly gone Now I tread the Streets of dawning Trusting He will show anon. Have you seen Him Women, Sisters? Watchmen of the City's weal? But you beat me Cautious, caustic Thinking all my flame unreal. He has pledged A sure betrothal He will meet me 'long the way And His garden Will delight us With the amorous scents of May. Shulammite He calls me smiling Fairest maid can this be true? Yes oh yes My only answer Every doubt He will subdue. https://issuu.com/dewane/docs/shulamite
