1. O beauty of the two moons in their glory
Of what in you have I not wondered?

2. You came like the sun in the darkness of night
Bearing laughing lightning from a planet

3. Your cheeks wrote temptation
That spread like your love to those not destined

4. And I've heard—though heard not any writer
Write a thing on pages of gilded water

5. As though the creator of beauty with his hand
Formed the face of dawn from hidden place

6. Moses came with verses from a serpent
So I come with serpent and scorpion
