Selected Poems (Engelse vertaling)

9 JEHUDAH HALEVI

4

MY DREAM

ps. 84,2. My God, Thy dwelling-places are lovely!

Num. 12,8. It is in vision and not in dark speeches that
Thou art near.

Ps. 73.17. My dream did bring me into the sanctuaries
of God,

And I beheld His beautiful services;

Num. 29,16. And the burnt-offering and meal-offering and
drink-offering,

And round about, heavy clouds of smoke.

And it was ecstasy to me to hear the Levites'
song,

In their council for the order of services.

Ps. 139.18. I awoke, and I was yet with Thee, O God,

And I gave thanks, and it was sweet to thank
Thee.
