If thou know not, O thou fairest among women Helwan , go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents. I have compared thee, Omy love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. I will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. Helwan my sweetness of Heaven on earth and in heaven. You have brought favor to my doorsteps. I am forever grateful to the Most High God A letter to my love 29 The Birthday Journal
