The Fair Maiden Poem by Yehudah HaLevi

The Fair Maiden

Rating: 2.4


The night when the fair maiden revealed the likeness of her form to me,
The warmth of her cheeks, the veil of her hair,
Golden like a topaz, covering
A brow of smoothest crystal—
She was like the sun making red in her rising
The clouds of dawn with the flame of her light.
