THE BRIDE ADORES HER BELOVED

Song of Solomon, Chapter 2

Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away

Visit my garden, shining with dew, and come away

Notice how the leaves shudder under your breath

Be the tree that towers over, and come away

See our constellation reflected in the well

Wash your face with Florida water, and come away

My beloved, your fruit is sweet to my taste

Make me sick with love, and come away

Let the stars in your eyes guide you from loneliness

Can you touch my soul, my planet, and come away?
