1. A dewdrop of pure glass
Like a drop from a young, slender branch

2. Appears to the eyes in aridity
With a redness like the blood of veins

3. So it is a heart and he is like eyelids
Its spring is black like pitch

4. So it and what it contains of embryos
Is like dusk at dawn's ornament

5. And what it contained of a shell
Like a ring with a pearl inside
