My Beloved

MY BELOVED
             Pure gentle and honest figure
             my owner when with others speaks
             before her every mouth stay quiet
             any mischief look is disfigured ...
                                  II
             So she perceived in others admiration
             in sublime modesty she is compared
             to angel who came from heaven to earth
             showing miracle thus illumination ...
                                 III
             simple appears to those who regards her
             passing by sweet heart looks
             that only notices who recognizes her
                                   IV
             From her mouth flies when inspired
             a spiritual breeze, full of lovingness
             that goes saying to the heart, "sighs"
