All night I repeat my songs of love.

Excerpt

The amorous nightingale presented itself first; it was beside itself with the excess of its passion. It expressed a meaning in each of the thousand tones of its songs, and in these diverse meanings was contained a world of secrets. It therefore celebrated the secrets of the mystery, to such a degree that it silenced the other birds. “The secrets of love are known to me,” it said; all night I repeat my songs of love.

According to Attar in the Mantic uttaïr, "The Conference of the Birds", the nightingale, the first bird to speak, sings the secrets of love all night long, and each of its thousand tones carries a hidden meaning. Today, express your love in a thousand small ways, a tender word, a song, an attentive gesture, and let your day become a melody offered to those you love and to God.
