My longing for you is encamped in the midst of my breast,
My longing for you camps amid the brush
Like the gazelles’ longing for the springs where they drink,
Like gazelles longing for spring's flowery draught

Or the longing of one thirsty at heart for a watering place,
Or thirsty lips for water they can't reach
Which the tips of spears have kept him from reaching.
Barred by the cups from the mouth they wish to wet
