Night and day I turn\n And with a steadfast heart I call to Thee,\n And pour incessant gratitude for Thy\n Excelling goodness. O my King, with pain\n For Thee my heart is torn, in Thee it trusts.\n Dreaming this shut-in dream, it looks to Thee\n For life\u2019s interpretation. This I ask,\n This is the plea to which I beg assent,\n My sole petition, neither more nor less.","title":"Selected Religious Poems of Solomon ibn Gabirol: 37. Almi...","type":"page"}
