RUNES

(Eve)

This beauty, replete, rare,

Is Woman.

(Rebecca)

Both in the willing and the working,

Captivating.

(Leah)

If not the first

This was the fecund love.

(Acsah)

Full of zest and thirst,

She springs with agility.

(Abigail)

Her soul bound with mine in

The bundle of the living.

(Shulamite)

Gracefulness and dignity,

Embrue each footstep.

(Woman of Worth)

More valuable than rubies

This woman I have found!
