1. He kissed the earth and confided in her passionately
Like an outcast returning from exile comprehending

2. Comprehending the mother who he had opposed
In misguidance, arrogance, and blindness

3. And he wept like a lost orphan
Who had not ceased remembering misery and ill-health

4. He strayed in delusions before, losing
So he collapsed when they thought he was rising high

5. He said, O mother enough for me that I
Live for you then pass away confused

6. What spirit other than your spirit is for me
Or existence other than the meaning in you that lasts

7. All that is in the universe does not preoccupy me
And if it were a trap spreading wide

8. The world of the unknown did not benefit me
Except with dreams that misled me always

9. When with you there are signs that sufficed
The ecstasy of the mind, tempting it and intoxicating it

10. You are the daughter of the sun, so it is a grandmother
And so we were beams and gleams

11. If we worshipped the light we did no wrong, for what
Was other than God light and peace

12. Or I returned today a humble servant
Receiving knowledge and judgment from you

13. All hopes are in your spaciousness
That if it narrowed, still it did not narrow the system

14. You are my paradise, so if I lose it
I have the right to become in humiliation fragments

15. And if I keep it awake
Sleep did not come, I became eternally bound

16. So the earth rejoiced in me, then smiled
About a spring overflowing with good news and passion
