The “Tree of Joy”
of the bride and bridegroom,
O Kateera!
The ancient dye
of the bride’s hands!
O Kateera!
The joy
of the merry wedded life!
O Kateera!
The perfume
of two wedded souls made one.
O Kateera!
O love! Thine by ancient
rights of joy, is Kateera!
O Kateera!
I saw the Kateera of the wild fields
growing in the garden here.
Thine, I thought, is still Kateera!
O Kateera!
I went to the garden to bring home
the “Tree of Joy” for thee, my love;
But the gardener would not let me,
O Kateera!
He would not let me touch it,
O Kateera!
Though I cried,
with a thousand strains of joy,
in the voices of my quivering soul,
the gardener would not listen!
O Kateera!
The world’s worth I gave to him,
he would not give me even a leaf of Kateera!
O Kateera!
My heart is sad for the garden
and the land where the flowers
of love and joy are scattered to the ground.
Up, my love! Up, my ruby red
of heart! Put on thy turban now,
And take me where Kateera grows
in nature free and wild!
O Kateera!
