Yea, good health and thanks to you who brought [me] blessings! You lulled to sleep the ever-loud throbbing With the expectation of you -- precious one -- gently In these radiance-filled weeks of dying. You came and, entwined, we hold each other · For you I shall learn soft words And, just as if you resembled the One Distant One, [I] shall praise you as the sun runs along its course.
