1. I am tasked with a sun unseen by the sun itself
I watch it with a thousand eyes and an eyebrow

2. Protected by horses, people and spears
My writings fade against the crush of battalions

3. Were the winds to carry my regards to her
They would not break through between the spears and ships

4. I have from her no mercy but that I
Comfort myself with false hopes

5. I envy a letter that is part of her name
Seen by the eye in a scribe's script
