1. An hour passed, in which life was generous,
And time slept, ignoring it.

2. The birds and spinning wheels sang for us,
Like musicians followed by melody.

3. Roses floated above the water between us,
Their red petals scattered.

4. My eyes never saw a scene like it -
Water shimmering above embers.

5. We enjoyed it, blooming with delight,
Like commands and affairs bloom with authority.

6. He whose face is the full moon, and whose words
Are pearls, and whose scent is the sea.

7. The gifts of his generosity flowed,
As praise and thanks flowed in him.

8. He perfumed the world with his traits -
In generosity, until rainfall was shy.
