LOVE'S DOUBTS

[My Brother] hath come forth [from mine house];

[He careth not for] my love;

My heart standeth still within me.

Behold, honeyed cakes in my mouth.

They are turned into salt;

Even must, that sweet thing,

In my mouth is as the gall of a bird!

The breath of thy nostrils alone

Is that which maketh my heart live.

I found thee! Amen grant thee unto me,

Eternally and for ever!
