1. The Pleiades rose and swayed,
And the Pleiades scent the breeze of falling,

2. Under wings of darkness it left behind,
A fragrance on its discarded shirt.

3. O night, does the full moon know, that I
Pass the night with his sister in her bed?

4. She allowed me to embrace her, but when
Dawn brought the hour of parting,

5. She shook off her chill with a branch, and stood
Shaking red dew from her tears.
