1. You puzzled over something whose essence
Distracts him from it with its secret.

2. It gathered nightfall and dawn between
Its ribs in its chest,

3. And armored with bone, it shows
From it what's hidden of its matter.

4. And if you invert its letters
Noble swords are honored by mentioning it.

5. You've made its crescent,
While it's hidden, like its full moon.
