1. O gleam of lightning, does any herald
Report neighbors who alighted at the flash?

2. O breeze of the wild, is there any whiff
Blown from them to a longing lover?

3. If they have laden the zephyr with their traces,
Then welcome such fragrance from them;

4. Or sent their specter moving through the night,
Then greetings to the visitor in the dark;

5. Their faces give light with their rays
When they appear in the gloom of nightfall;

6. My heart is their dwelling, and lo, in my eyes
They have alighted on its overflowing porch.
