If you should meet the Loved One as you stray
If you should meet the Loved One as you stray,
O give my letter secretly to her,
Then haste away
And do not tell my name, O Messenger.
O Morning Winds that from the garden blow,
Should you meet one like me forlorn and sad,
On him bestow
The peace and solace I have never had.
O Eyes that weep and weep unsatisfied,
That shed such floods, yet never find relief,
O stem your tide
Lest you should drown the world in seas of grief.
She need not have one anxious doubt of me,
She need not fear my further wanderings—
How can I flee?
How can a bird escape, deprived of wings?
O give my letter secretly to her,
Then haste away
And do not tell my name, O Messenger.
O Morning Winds that from the garden blow,
Should you meet one like me forlorn and sad,
On him bestow
The peace and solace I have never had.
O Eyes that weep and weep unsatisfied,
That shed such floods, yet never find relief,
O stem your tide
Lest you should drown the world in seas of grief.
She need not have one anxious doubt of me,
She need not fear my further wanderings—
How can I flee?
How can a bird escape, deprived of wings?
