|  | 10: O my well-beloved sister, O Most Exalted ... | 
	| 1 | O my well-beloved sister, O Most Exalted Leaf! | 
	| 2 | Thou didst leave for Akká to remain but two days 
or so and then return, but now thou hast been gone 
from us for quite a while.  We have stayed behind in 
Haifa, all alone, and it is very difficult to get along.  
We hear that thou art a little indisposed; the Haifa air 
would have been better for thee.  We had everything 
ready in Haifa to receive thee, but in fact, this caused 
thee some difficulty.  There is no way but to endure 
the toil and trouble of God's path.  If thou dost not 
bear these hardships, who would ever bear them? | 
	| 3 | In any case, no matter how things are, come thou 
here today, because my heart is longing for thee. |
