1. Your red flowers that you handed over
As a farewell with your bidding right hand

2. When I reached the summer house, I carried them
Like a child who slept on the wet nurse's arm

3. I walk with them over the sands as if
I walk with a specter in the dark, masked

4. Folded petals, covered in a gown
Stamped with your refined taste

5. Veiled like an oriental princess
In a bridal carriage, its curtains not raised

6. Until I brought them after nightfall
And removed from them the dress of the aloof

7. They awoke for my hands and their color shone
And their breaths mingled in my bed

8. And they passed, stealing my conscious side
Not complaining of wakefulness or excessive yearning

9. It is you, dreams flirting with my sight
And pouring the sweetness of their talk in my hearing

10. It is you, specters embracing my mind
And fleeing when feeling the heat of my ribs

11. They toy with me, and their lips are full
Of your allure, a smile for my craving

12. And you plotted, my love, and my night passed
While you are awake with me

13. You sent them as an eye watching over me
To bring you the wondrous, enjoyable news

14. To count my motions if I went to my balcony
And number my steps if I returned to my place

15. They witnessed that since I left you, confused
Alone with my youthfulness in my abode!!
