The white hair has visited my hair's parting,
A strand of white has visited the parting of my hair,
Like lightning in the gloom of blue clouds.
Like lightning flashing through the dusk of clouds in azure air.

Its whiteness at its horizon did not alarm me;
Its sudden whiteness on the horizon struck no fear in me,
It sprouts like dawn—or like a crown of black and white.
Like dawn it sprouts... or like a crown of dappled majesty.
