1. The West is musk at night,
And the East, at dawn, is ambergris.

2. In the wine's garden
Is a rose of soft down and petals.

3. So drink on the cheek of a land
Watered by a moist jawbone,

4. That no wind has touched,
Save to bend it while still unripe.

5. In it let your day be
A string of pearls from the salt sea.
