1. As if armies of coal above their embers,
Brought together, opposing is made fair with opposing.

2. Rolled up carpets it scattered, though it appeared
Above a cheek's blush the redness of roses.

3. When its dye reached an end I thought it
Rubies made powder, or rose petals gathered.

4. Until after death its ashes told
Of camphor remains in pieces of dew.
