1. I see the rain in the horizons like a patchwork cloak
Yet it is in shreds, made by hand

2. She loved it with pearls like necklaces are made
So between what is strung and what is scattered

3. He gave generously with the generosity of the wealthy with their money
And he thought money does not last forever

4. So he slept with every smooth dune
And shook hands with every lofty dune

5. So the lightning in its atmosphere encountered no resistance
Nor did any part of the earth echo back

6. As if the darkness, full moon, and lightning around him
Were like the helmet of an Abyssinian slave

7. And when it came time to say farewell
He acted like a reluctant lover

8. So he strung his farewell residence with rubies and pearls
And lined the ground with emerald carpet
