1 "Within the Veil": be this, belov'd, thy portion,
Within the secret of thy Lord to dwell;
2 "Within the Veil," for only as thou gazest
Upon the matchless beauty of His face,
3 "Within the Veil," His fragrance poured upon thee,
Without the Veil, that fragrance shed abroad;
4 "Within the Veil," thy spirit deeply anchored,
Thou walkest calm above a world of strife;
