1. She said to her companions, their words
Playing in her chamber,

2. "Take the shade from me, let it not follow me"
And she walked quickly to her dome.

3. No troubles had afflicted her in times past,
A gazelle frolicking in her gait,

4. She'd never embraced a man in times past,
A chirping girl in her gown.

5. No arrow had ever struck her, and he who
She would strike, would not escape her shooting.
