The Delightful Garden
You captivated my heart,
My sister and my bride;
At one glance your eyes impart,
How your love has been applied.
How beautiful is your love,
My sister who is my spouse;
Blessings that flow from above,
Fills the love in our house.
Your love is better than wine,
The scent of oil from spice;
Grace from the Holy Divine,
Enabled to melt the ice.
Your lips dripping with nectar,
Your tongue as honey and milk;
Has made me a prospector,
Exploring skin smooth as silk.
A garden locked in my wife,
A spring locked; a fountain sealed;
Spending the rest of my life,
Intimacy is revealed.
Your shoots are an orchard,
The finest fruits with spikenard;
Our kisses are nurtured,
Justly have their own reward.
The stream of living water,
Flows from the garden fountain;
That nourishes the daughter,
And birthing through the mountain.
