Where Have You Hidden?

Where have you hidden, Beloved?
Why have You wounded my soul?
I went out to the wilderness calling for You
But You were gone
Oh shepherds keeping your watch in the hills
If by chance you meet with my Love
Tell Him I suffer in my lonely grief
And I soon will die
But I have searched for my Love in the mountains
I have searched among the meadows and the fields
He has poured out a thousand graces in them
So my heart might be healed
Yet my heart is not healed
