Title: love | forgiveness | hatred
1.
Hatred stirs
up strife,
But love covers
all offenses.
Yes love,
the elixir of life
Erases all
pretenses.
2.
What every
wise woman knows
Is that she
is a Rose
of Sharon,
A lily of
the valley
Dancing along
life's narrow alley;
A lily among
the brambles.
3.
Her desire
as a maiden
Is tender,
Never heavy laden.
4.
Bathed in fragrance
is where
she once stood.
As an apple tree
Amidst all the
saps of wood.
5.
Her life's
Like a breeze
Of cool fresh air,
Fostering only good.
6.
O north wind awake
For deliverance sake
And come,
Right now
to follow,
the beetles hum.
7.
O South wind,
Grant her pardon.
And blow upon
Her scented garden.
8.
That its sweet
fragrance may
Waft abroad,
through nature's
perfect sum.
9.
Let thy beloved
come with,
tantalizing play
this very day -
To that garden
and her,
choicest fruits
to eat
10.
Plucking ripe
clusters,
From such
tender shoots;
Of blackberry
and beet.
11.
Arise, my love
My sweet one,
And come away.
Let the Will
of God be done,
Fair play.
For there is,
No other way.
12.
Like a flash
of vision,
From the soul
At dawn,
The winter
is now past,
At last,
the rain is gone.
13.
Bright flowers
Appear over all
the earth;
Breathtaking and
given to birth.
14.
Love is neither
blind nor dumb,
The time
of singing has
finally come.
15.
Thus we can
now rejoice,
That the
heroic voice,
Of the turtledove
Is heard in
all our land.
16.
Tonight we might
gently understand,
Why the fig tree
Puts forth,
its figs,
And the vines
in blossom,
Give forth
dazzling fragrance.
17.
Arise, my love,
My fair one...
And come away,
To join me in
This wondrous
dance.
