In Our Own Eden: A Prince's Song To His Young Wife
(2/12/14)
Come with me, my love, my spouse; come with me;
Come with me to our chamber so that we
May fill it with love and intimacy
And enrich it with our sweet company.
Fill me with knowledge of you, my princess -
Let me see your beauty in its fullness;
Let me fully behold your comeliness
And show me more of your full loveliness.
Let me kiss you like a cup of fresh wine
That touches your lips - a wine sweet and fine;
Let me caress you like a tamed feline
That caresses your bosom, waist, and spine.
Let me cleave myself, O my love, to you,
Commit myself to be faithful and true
And let my heart be ravished more by you,
An Eden to keep and be caring to.
Join me, my love; let us be delighted
In consuming our garden on this bed;
Together, let's be intoxicated
With the fragrance of its roses so red.
In here, I'll give you your heart's sweet pleasure;
Your sweet desire I'll give in full measure:
Gently will I give it so you'll be sure
My love for you is true, selfless, and pure!
Come with me - let us enjoy our Eden,
Pleasing each other in this bless'd garden
For it's a gift by the Lord of heaven -
Together, let us come to our own Eden!
