1. A poet came to visit his beloved one day, but
The deceiver found no inspiration, so no line could he pen.

2. He plucked a tuft of his hair and tossed it
Onto the guestbook, composing as follows:

3. If a partridge were to flutter around your abode
Seeking respite behind the shutters in wait,

4. And in one of the crevices spied a flower
Withered and choked with thirst imploring relief,

5. I'd open the door of the shack for the partridge
And quench the thirst of the flower - behold, I care!
