Leave Me, My Blamer

• Leave me, my blamer,
• For the sake of the love
• Which unites your soul with
• That of your beloved one;
• For the sake of that which
• Joins spirit with mothers
• Affection, and ties your
• Heart with filial love. Go,
• And leave me to my own
• Weeping heart.
•  
• Let me sail in the ocean of
• My dreams; Wait until Tomorrow
• Comes, for tomorrow is free to
• Do with me as he wishes. Your
• Laying is naught but shadow
• That walks with the spirit to
• The tomb of abashment, and shows
• Heard the cold, solid earth.
•  
• I have a little heart within me
• And I like to bring him out of
• His prison and carry him on the
• Palm of my hand to examine him
• In depth and extract his secret.
• Aim not your arrows at him, lest
• He takes fright and vanish 'ere he
• Pours the secrets blood as a
• Sacrifice at the altar of his
• Own faith, given him by Deity
• When he fashioned him of love and beauty.
•  
• The sun is rising and the nightingale
• Is singing, and the myrtle is
• Breathing its fragrance into space.
• I want to free myself from the
• Quilted slumber of wrong. Do not
• Detain me, my blamer!
•  
• Cavil me not by mention of the
• Lions of the forest or the
• Snakes of the valley, for
• Me soul knows no fear of earth and
• Accepts no warning of evil before
• Evil comes.
•  
• Advise me not, my blamer, for
• Calamities have opened my heart and
• Tears have cleanses my eyes, and
• Errors have taught me the language
• Of the hearts.
•  
• Talk not of banishment, for conscience
• Is my judge and he will justify me
• And protect me if I am innocent, and
• Will deny me of life if I am a criminal.
•  
• Love's procession is moving;
• Beauty is waving her banner;
• Youth is sounding the trumpet of joy;
• Disturb not my contrition, my blamer.
• Let me walk, for the path is rich
• With roses and mint, and the air
• Is scented with cleanliness.
•  
• Relate not the tales of wealth and
• Greatness, for my soul is rich
• With bounty and great with God's glory.
•  
• Speak not of peoples and laws and
• Kingdoms, for the whole earth is
• My birthplace and all humans are
• My brothers.
•  
• Go from me, for you are taking away
• Life—giving repentance and bringing
• Needless words.
