1. The bread of Jesus is made of half a lupine seed
And its two sheets are made of two lentil shells

2. That is the grace of God that He bestows
On whom He wills, not from his own essence

3. From a tiny seed, His bread
Is hidden from the eye, though it seeks it

4. If it was sifted with silk, it would seep
Through the fabric's gaps, not held back

5. When you grab the loaf, it seems
A lion has grabbed it there and torn it

6. Until when you start eating it
It sends up from intense sorrow a sigh

7. As if each morsel you ate
Was stolen from his hands by force

8. Oblivious of the affairs of his forgetfulness
Debased at the house guarding his bread

9. The neighbor lights his fire, and sees
The light of his own lamp lit from it

10. And if he saw or felt a while
The smoke of a fire, he would snuff it out
