1. I see the old man hating in himself
The greyness that the days have poured upon him,

2. And weakness that makes his body frail
And shortens his strides.

3. How can he desire a young girl
Whose heart flutters away from him in disgust?

4. Shame on the old man who woos
A girl who sees nearness to him as disgrace!

5. Young girls are created
To hate old men, however great.
