Reverence

"Woe is me !"

Why so rueful?

"I fell in love with a boy of Christ."

Why?

"Tender are his lips and balmy are his eyes, all the while he speaks in heavenly tongue to my heart."

Oh, I see.

"He is kind."

...Why do you weep?

"In truth he says his love for the father will be eternally greater than his for me."

He is full of faith.

"I too...but it still hurts."
