1. O governor, your rule has been long
And every matter has an end

2. Do not think the sun is rising
For the sun moves to different horizons

3. Son of he whom you have come to destroy
If you are unable in preventing him

4. Even a spider, however small, can be seen
In its home with its imperfect web

5. I am deserted by my people and attacked
By one I had no intention to fight

6. I befriended men I did not create
And time brought separation and pregnancy

7. I continued living after them
Lonely and sad, all is agony

8. In an abode where a passerby asks me
About them as ruins are asked about

9. Winter blew smoke into it
And the tails of fires blaze
