1. I saw him before dawn one morning
When the deceits of eloquence were unveiled

2. And I have seen - and never seen - beauty like hers
A face more captivating, with a blossoming smile

3. A virgin nurtured on the milk of eloquence
Whose bed was prolonged in her presence and comfort

4. She came as she pleased, and as her noble nature pleased
Kindling conversation and delighting souls

5. Nay, like a garden in first youth
Watered, till the buds of chamomile burst open

6. She folded the carpet of longing after
Spreading over me the wing of acceptance
