The Letter's Reply

My darling, my heart respond again In words I search for balms of pain I cannot tell about love, When it will come, or why it stays Through years of sorrow and hope's decay For I know not, Except that I am born to love My eyes sees your nest, my soul becomes a dove. Nor do I possess, the reason for it But why you, why of all earth's cradle In you I long for rest, here I also am a riddle I only know, I am a man under spell My tongue forever pines for your breast My heart longs to bring you happiness. I have loved you since, I first saw you A seraph voice, a rapture of light You were a picture upon my sight Memories keep me leashed To hunger of days, desire consumes me O goddess-like you are in beauty My heart I cannot deny How your heart ever clings to me How your soul for my tired wings becomes my tree You are bright and beautiful A diamond shining in the heart of stars A pearl that's made where the oyster scars The most beautiful to grace my eyes For you were the first moon that came Behind my curtains and ignited my sacred flame Your worth is more to me than rubies I bow where others trample with their feet And mount you on the pedestal a work complete You are ever made new by the power of love No dust nor grime can stain you, no rust defile My sweet hibiscus, my fragrant jasmine oil I love you, I love you, I love you Till eternity meet eternity Till dust shall put on immortality I love you, Jew My darling love, my pasion's bride, my joy My dream's delight, and heaven sweet envoy. I love you, Jew.
