A Decorated Doorway

1 min read

I pass by his house,
Finding its door open.
My beloved stands beside his mother,
His siblings all around him.
He looks at me as I pass,
(But) I alone rejoice.
Had his mother known my heart,
She would have gone inside for a moment.
O Golden One, put that in her heart,
so I may hurry to my beloved,
and kiss him before his companions!
