1. I longed for the one I love; but when I met him,

    I was dumbstruck, unable to command my tongue or even a glance.

  2. And there had been so many things within my heart—

    yet when we met, I could not utter so much as a letter.

  3. I lowered my eyes before him, in reverence and awe,

    and tried to hide what was within me, but it would not stay hidden.

  4. If only I were granted that mouth of his, where

    the pearls lie set—I would kiss it a thousand times.
