Cantico

Despierta, alma mía, despierta
que larga es la noche soñolienta.
Fugaz es el tiempo
Si tarda la obra.

Ven de mañana a
saborear delicias,
trabajar tu viña.
Gozar de Mi amor.

Ven, amada ven.
No suspires con lo de ayer.
La noche es corta.
El alba se aproxima.

Very thoughtful...the metaphor of la viña was a big clue. It was the moment of epiphany for me (light bulb in my head switched on)
