Come, beloved image,
come, my wife, accompany me,
stay close forever,
protect me from life’s pitfalls.
My only guardian angel,
counsel my steps and keep them safe,
and if I lose my bearings,
come light the way before me
Your light sustains my virtue
and preserves my faithfulness
because I know that you are mine
I feel you in my spirit
and know not how to call you,
whether my wife or my soul!
