He comes, O bliss!
Fly swiftly, you winds,
You odorous breezes,
And tell him how long
I’ve waited for this!
O happy that night,
When sunk on your breast,
Your kisses fast falling,
And drunken with love,
My troth I did plight.
Again my sweet friend
Embrace me close.
Yes, heaven does bless us,
And now you have won
My love without end.
(Yehudah HaLevi)
