1. Or do you not see how the days have adorned themselves,
And spring has come upon them governing?

2. The earth has worn beauty's garment and so become lovely,
Cloaked in its coolness, veiled.

3. Look at the blossoms of the gardens as if they were
A cloth the hands spread glittering.

4. And light descends like necklaces unstrung
And the rose is shy, and the buds smile.

5. Dew forms above them into pearls
Which single and paired deck them.

6. And the narcissus sheds tears as if
At dawn, bleeding from its slit stalk.

7. A land the sky converses with when night falls
And the stars shine out in its darkness.

8. For the greenness of the air is the greenness of its gardens
And for its blossom, blossoms and light are born.

9. And as the rain splits the Milky Way's darkness
The land is split by streams teaming.

10. Nothing is left but the moon, as it goes astray
Living generously through its crescent's void.
