I fell in love with him when youth set him swaying,
I hung it when the morning breeze swayed it,
in joy, and his swaying branch blossomed.
Playfully, and its drooping branch was illuminated.

A softly nasal-voiced fawn, sheltered and still growing,
It sprouted the most melodious, soft leaves,
he grazes amid beauty and frolics in bliss.
Rejoicing in beauty and luxury, frolicking.

I once had with him, in love's wild fervor,
It had given me, in the intensity of love,
days when I neither listened nor heeded advice.
Days when I do not listen or take advice.

A lush basil sprig swaying, and a meadow
A basil plant, sprinkling, and a meadow
untouched and flourishing, and a rose unfolding.
A nose sniffing, a rosebud opening.

You set out at dawn, while the tuneful dove murmurs,
It rises while the cooing of doves murmurs
and the air sprays and sprinkles fine drizzle,
And the air is perfumed with mist and dew.

and the meadow, its crests shrouded in its mist,
The meadow's grass is veiled in its fog
grows dewy, and the breaths of blossoms waft,
Moist, and the breaths of flowers exhale.

to a haven of desires and a haunt of youthful passion,
At a homestead of tents and familiar abodes
by which our inmost selves are quenched and refreshed.
Our insides are watered and revived.
