1. A heart, resting place of noble folk
Casting away distractions and diversions

2. From every radiant smile it has a youth
As if washed with pure musk

3. The cheek of gold, the mouth of hail
Gaping, shining white teeth

4. As if, when the resting lover drinks from it
After anguish, with wine of ease imbued

5. And her hair is like plants in a meadow of scent
Crowned with rays of light

6. She shook my firmness and resolve as if they were
A bending branch, swaying to and fro

7. Pure, smooth skin, not an altar for sacrifice
As if stained with blood of swords

8. Keeper of pastures, obeying him
Is every whisper, plot and meaning

9. Now here, now there, roaming the dunes
His intestines gushing forth like a flood

10. A letter, twisting like a stallion courting
For two fertile years, binding and conceiving

11. As if its folds vent fiery sighs
Clothed in the blackness of night

12. Until when her lead mares drew near
And for his shoulders, flashing signs
