1. A brother of mine in the unseen uplands tends his love,
While my springtime stays where the pasture was sweet to me.

2. O, a gazelle grazing the thickets! He tends
My love, O may God tend him who tends my love!

3. I wander with him lost in love, and he wanders lost with me,
Once he was eyes for me, as he was ears.

4. My spirit mingled with his above love,
O disappointed spy if he seeks to spy!
