1. Welcome, O love, and your smile,
The soul's contentment and its joy.

2. Welcome, O breeze that revives me,
Welcome, O dawn and your laughter.

3. Welcome, the nightingale's song,
The sun's forehead and its rising.

4. Welcome, O dawn that greets me
With your winds and rays.

5. With the garden's flowers that exhale
A fragrance above its cloak.

6. Welcome, O queen of my soul,
My princess and healer.

7. Welcome, O ambassador of my dreams,
My heart's love and sweetheart.

8. Welcome, I sketch you as a map
For love's meadow and pond.

9. I ask my Lord to shower you
With His care and mercy.
