1. Time admonished, yet you did not understand its admonishments
As if it speaks in its silence

2. If the sheep conversed with you, their bleating would say
The wolf oppresses, yet man's son is more oppressive

3. You chased away a noble knight
Whose need drove him in the dark of night

4. Making his excuse to us greater
An ignorant tree not knowing what you know

5. He desires our safety and pastures over our meadow
While the fold of harm from your enclosures is safer

6. Your claws overreached to his claws
In valor, but this is the time for that to be clipped

7. If he were a blossoming branch in the groves
He would not wither, wither and be broken

8. Patience over your world that will soon pass
As if it were a dream in slumber one dreams

9. And maybe time will undo those who plot
Against the emigrant, and for each lofty one there is a ladder

10. People vary, some feigning ignorance
Foolish in ignorance and foolish in pretense

11. You parted, so your concerns mounted, and the expanse
Despairs in the length of its course without conversation

12. When a hand is severed, its kindred
If burned by fire, would not feel pain
