138 JEHUDAH HALEVI
75
MY HEART SEETH THEE
My thoughts awaken me with Thy name,
And set Thy mercies before me.
They teach me of the soul Thou hast formed,
Bound up within me;—it is wonderful in mine
eyes!
And my heart seeth Thee and hath faith in
Thee
As though it had stood by at Sinai.
I have sought Thee in my visions, and there
passed
Thy glory by me, descending in my clouds.
My musings have roused me from my couch
To bless Thy glorious Name, O Lord.
