1. The spring wove its coolness with a brilliance
From its sun and its clouds.

2. Its blossoming is purified by the breath of flowers,
Oh, the sweet scent of nectar in its cup!

3. It all sways with the gentle breeze
Like water flowing above its waves.

4. The flowers partly opened and partly closed
Are most beautiful awake and asleep.

5. The spring sprinkled its colors over them
As if waving its banners aloft.

6. The birds sing and the butterflies flutter
Playing and frolicking to its tunes.

7. The sun peers through the clouds
Like a crescent moon at its fullness.

8. The horizon fills with ghosts
Like dreams' nonsense.

9. Until you rose, the loveliest rising
With your smiling face from its veil.

10. You distracted me from all I loved
Of the spring's scenes, scent and words.

11. You lit the spark of poetry in me and I kindled
From your eyes its magic and rhythm.

12. Poetry is tempted by the forbidden when describing
Beauty and is inspired.
