1. The maidens are bashful as the desert dawn
To lovers, their glances deal fatal blows

2. How many a suitor when he saw her glide
Swaying with pride fell captive to love's throes

3. Do her heavy eyelids that ache with disease
Harbor for him fires that incessantly glow?

4. She seemed mid her friends like the moon in its halo
Robed in the hues of the reddening clouds' glow

5. The train of her gown furrowed the soft sand
As she gracefully walked with a languid tread

6. O doe of the vale, a guest hopes to meet you
The hollow is near, soon his goods will be unloaded

7. Its directed to kiss you, for the tryst was so decided
Though many urged love, I listened not to what they said

8. For lovers must daringly breach all bounds
And disregard the reproofs of even the wise and staid
