1. Clad in speckled clothes he walked in the shade
And waded into the body of the morning

2. With his blackness he contains more charm
Than salty white has to offer

3. When you see his pride as he faces
The flag of success, his beauties call out

4. To him from all directions
His sight quenches the thirsty

5. Better than fresh cold water
His ears nearly answer when

6. Someone calls out crying
He sang and rejoiced to the breeze and kept dancing cheerfully

7. He walked tipsily and swayed
Like one intoxicated with pleasure

8. He looked up to the wild sky and said
What bothers you, making you so gloomy

9. If I were free I would suggest
One with four feet shod with the winds

10. Before him we never saw
A bird that could fly without wings

11. Handsome, and more beautiful than him
In my eyes and than meadow flowers

12. And softer than dewy lips that reveal
Gaping holes like strawberry patches

13. A line came which taught me
A precious string of eloquent words

14. I adorned my verses with it
And forgot my woeful laments
