A Love Song Poem by Yehudah HaLevi

A Love Song

Rating: 2.7


'Do you see over my shoulders falling,
Snake-like ringlets waving free?
Have no fear, for they are twisted
To allure you unto me.'

Thus she spoke, the gentle dove,
Listen to your plighted love:
'Oh, how long I wait, till my sweetheart comes back,' she said,
'Laying his caressing hand underneath my burning head.'

Good, I like to read it, But I am unlucky not to know Hebrew for the original.
