The four verses of this poem imply a fifth, and I suggest always ending this sublime poem with a niggun (wordless melody) or instrumental part.

This melody can also be sung to Proverbs 31:10-31, more familiarly known as Ayshet Chayil (“A Woman of Valor�). It fits to the words best if the A section is repeated twice every time except the last.
