1. I called out to snowflakes, unhearing
So cry out and shout what you wish, O snowflakes

2. If it is poetry that is said, it has come near
A time right for us for lament

3. And your brother in ancient Damascus has descended
To help you in your ode, a helper and ally

4. Smoking has inspired you what you have said
In each letter nicotine

5. Your nonsense, how do you praise a doll
That China has laughed at
