O excellent Sovereign, come to thine abode!

Look at me; I am thy sister who loveth thee.

Do not stay far from me, O beautiful youth.

Come to thine abode with haste, with haste.

I see thee no more.

My heart is full of bitterness on account of thee.

Mine eyes seek thee;

I seek thee to behold thee.

will it be long ere I see thee?

Will it be long ere I see thee?
