1. She fled in fear, lest we be seen,
Like a gazelle who spies a hunter and startles.

2. Her connection became distress in my gut,
And my eyelids shed red pearls.

3. I importuned her for my need and she frowned,
Her cheeks blushing as she said “You shall not see!”

4. I became distraught with yearning, tormented,
Neither dead, that I be buried and forgot.
