"Love from Palestine"
by
Mahmoud Darwish

Come to me wherever you are
Whatever you have become
And return colour to my cheeks
And meaning to my life
Return and take me into your eyes
Take an olive branch
Take a verse of my tragedy
A toy
Take a stone from our house
So that our descendents
Will find our way home
