From the Spanish of Sor Marcela de CarpioA
-
-
Let them say to my LoverB
That here I lieC
The thing of His pleasureB
His slave am IC
-
Say that I seek HimD
Only for loveE
And welcome are torturesF
My passion to proveG
-
Love giving giftsH
Is suspicious and coldI
I have all my BelovedJ
When Thee I holdI
-
Hope and devotionK
The good may gainL
I am but worthyM
Of passion and painL
-
So noble a LordN
None serves in vainL
For the pay of my loveE
Is my love's sweet painL
-
I love Thee to love TheeM
No more I desireB
By faith is nourishedO
My love's strong fireB
-
I kiss Thy handsP
When I feel their blowsQ
In the place of caressesR
Thou givest me woesQ
-
But in Thy chastisingS
Is joy and peaceT
O Master and LoveE
Let Thy blows not ceaseT
-
Thy beauty BelovedJ
With scorn is rifeU
But I know that Thou lovest meM
Better than lifeU
-
And because Thou lovest meM
Lover of mineV
Death can but make meM
Utterly ThineV
-
I die with longingS
Thy face to seeM
Oh sweet is the anguishW
Of death to meM
