1. When riders cross a sandy tract
Distance casts them in sandy waves

2. As if the sand dunes in their length
Are nights upon a languished lover

Weeping copiously with tearful eyes

4. And letters beneath me so slender
That leanness cannot hide the lean

5. As if when I tighten my belt
I tighten a belt on one emaciated
