1. A veiled girl from the daughters of chiefs
Selling wine in her house

2. She came swaying like a slender branch
Watered by the valley rains

3. In her hand coffee in a vessel
Like fire unextinguished in its hearth

4. Like an oasis held in her hand
And its lushness at dawn

5. From a clasping her cheek grew pale
From a puller slipped her waistband
