THE SPRING OF SOUL

THE SPRING OF SOUL

Arriving spring, youth I revive after having become old,

Sitting biside the beloved from my own life advantage I take.

Arriving spring, youth I revive after having become old,

Sitting biside the beloved from my own life advantage I take.

Returning to the garden I Join the flowers,

In the garden, the moon-like beloved, in my arm, I take.

One day the fall and the whithered I leave behind,

So that in the soul garden, from rose-like beloved, tidings I take.

My feathers and my wings which shed in [mid] DEY,

As the spring comes, through the Beloved's union the new feather s and wings I retake.

In autum in this wasteland I sat,

The spring came that for the beloved's union a trip I take.

If the cup-bearer out of that cup out of which the lovers are given wine,

Sprinkles some, languishing, from her face the veil up I take.
